Ingredients

• 240 grams All-purpose flour
• 120 grams Coconut oil
• 3 tablespoons Cold water
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 600 grams Fresh cherries, pitted and halved
• 100 grams Granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Almond milk

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Add the coconut oil and mix with a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

Add the cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing lightly after each addition until the dough comes together and can be formed into a ball. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.

Step 4

In another bowl, combine the pitted cherries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Stir gently to coat the cherries evenly.

Step 5

Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface to fit a 9-inch tart pan. Carefully transfer the dough into the tart pan, pressing gently to fit the shape. Trim any excess dough hanging over the edges.

Step 6

Pour the cherry filling into the prepared crust, spreading it out evenly.

Step 7

Brush the edges of the crust with almond milk for a golden finish.

Step 8

Place the tart on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the filling is bubbly and the crust is golden brown.

Step 9

Allow the tart to cool on a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
