WHAT YOU WILL NEED:
for 4-6 people

Crust: 

  • 140g oats(or oat flour)
  • 60g almond flour(rice also possible)
  • 2 tbsp corn starch
  • 4 dates(medjool) or 1 tbsp muscovado sugar
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 100g coconut oil(or butter if you prefer)
  • 2 – 4 tbsp plant milk

Filling: 

  • 150g soft tofu
  • 90g soaked cashews
  • 120g sugar
  • 230g coconut milk
  • 105g lemon juice(aprox. 3-4 lemons)
  • Zest from 1-2 lemons
  • ½ tsp agar agar

Meringue :

  • 60g aquafaba
  • 120g sugar
  • Pinch of salt
  • Juice from ½ lemon

HOW TO:

  1. Crust: Add all the ingredients for the crust in a small food processor and blend until it becomes a sticky dough, for about 1 minute;
  2. Place the dough in the bottom of a tarte or cake non-stick pan(even better if you use one that open from the side), using your hands to press down the dough, forming a thin, firm layer. Pre Bake the crust for about 10 minutes in pre-heated oven at 180°C; 
  3. Filling: In a small sauce pan, bring the lemon juice, coconut milk and agar agar to a boil, turn down the heat and let it simmer for 5 minutes; 
  4. Blend all the ingredients together until smooth and creamy; 
  5. Fill the pre-baked pie crust with the lemon curd filling and let it sit in the fridge for min. 2h; 
  6. Meringue: using a mixer, whisk the aquafaba with the lemon juice and pinch of salt until fluffy and firm; 
  7. Add slowly the sugar and whisk for about 5 minutes extra until shiny, fluffy and firm;
  8. Top the tarte with the meringue. Here you have the option to bake it in the grill function for about 3 minutes just to “burn” the meringue, use a torch to make the same “burn” effect or leave like that with the soft white meringue.
