Ingredients

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup almond flour
• 0.25 cup cane sugar
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup coconut oil
• 3 tablespoons cold water
• 0.5 cup silken tofu
• 0.75 cup almond milk
• 0.5 cup maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 0.5 teaspoon almond extract
• 0.5 cup sliced almonds

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, almond flour, cane sugar, and salt.

Step 3

Add the coconut oil to the dry ingredients and mix with a fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Gradually add cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until a dough forms. The dough should hold together but not be sticky.

Step 5

Press the dough evenly into a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom, ensuring the crust is even along all edges.

Step 6

Prick the crust with a fork and bake for 15-20 minutes, until lightly golden. Remove from oven and let cool slightly.

Step 7

In a blender, combine the silken tofu, almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, cornstarch, and almond extract. Blend until smooth.

Step 8

Pour the almond mixture into a saucepan over medium heat. Cook, continually stirring, until the mixture thickens, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 9

Pour the almond filling into the cooled tart crust, spreading evenly with a spatula.

Step 10

Sprinkle the sliced almonds evenly over the top of the filling.

Step 11

Bake the tart in the oven for another 15-20 minutes, until the edges are set.

Step 12

Allow the tart to cool completely before removing from the tart pan and serving. Slice and enjoy!
