Ingredients

• 250 grams All-purpose flour
• 150 grams Coconut oil (solid)
• 4 tablespoons Iced water
• 4 large Eggs
• 200 milliliters Coconut milk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 100 grams Sugar
• 150 milliliters Water

Directions

Step 1

To make the pastry, combine the all-purpose flour and solid coconut oil in a medium bowl.

Step 2

Using your fingers, rub the coconut oil into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.

Step 3

Add the iced water slowly, mixing until the dough can be brought together. You may not need all the water.

Step 4

Form the dough into a ball, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.

Step 5

Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F).

Step 6

Roll out the chilled dough to about 3mm thick on a lightly floured surface.

Step 7

Using a round cutter, cut circles and press them into a muffin tin to form tart shells.

Step 8

In a saucepan, combine sugar and 150ml water, heating gently until the sugar has dissolved. Set aside to cool.

Step 9

In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs and gradually add in the cooled sugar water, coconut milk, and vanilla extract to create the filling.

Step 10

Strain the filling mixture through a sieve to ensure it is smooth and free of lumps.

Step 11

Pour the filling into the prepared tart shells, filling each about 3/4 full.

Step 12

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the filling is set but still slightly wobbly in the center.

Step 13

Allow to cool before serving. Enjoy your Dairy-Free Classic Egg Tarts!
