Vegan Strawberry Dessert Tamales - easier than you think! They are sweet and delicious and will wow anyone you serve! You've gotta try these!

Vegan Strawberry Dessert Tamales

strawberries

almond milk (warm)

vegan butter (room temperature)

sugar

tsp baking powder

tsp kosher salt

masa harina

water

strawberry jam

corn husks ((dried))

Soak the corn husks in hot water, in a large pot or in your kitchen sink. Place a plate over them to weigh them down so they are completely submerged. Let them soak for at least an hour.

Blend the 2 cups of almond milk and 1 cup of the strawberries until smooth.

To make the dough: beat the butter and sugar, on medium-high speed, with an electric mixer, until the butter has doubled in size and is nice and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the baking powder and salt, and beat for 1 minute to incorporate into the butter.

Add half of the masa harina then add the strawberry almond milk.  After it is completely incorporated, add the other half of the masa harina and the water.  Add the remaining cup of chopped strawberries, and beat at low speed, until thoroughly mixed. It should have the consistency of a thick cake batter. If necessary add more water until you reach that consistency.

For lighter and fluffier tamales, let the dough rest for an hour in the refrigerator. Remove the dough from the fridge and rebeat it, adding enough liquid to get it to the consistency it had before.

Remove the corn husks from the water and set on paper towels. Reserve the largest husks to wrap the tamales and the small ones to line the steamer.

To set up your steamer, fill the bottom with water making sure the water is not touching the steamer rack. Line the rack and sides of the steamer pot with corn husks. Set aside.

To wrap the tamales, pull 24 pencil thin strips off of the corn husks and set aside. Take a husk and dry off the excess water on it with a paper towel. Place the husk in your hand with the tapered side away from you and the smooth side up. Using a spoon, spread 2-3 tbsp. of the dough (¼ inch thick) onto the corn husk, forming a 3 - 4 inch square. Leave a border of at least 3/4 inch on each side of the square.

Place 1 tbsp. of strawberry jam in the center of the dough. Bring the two long sides of the corn husk together, this will cause the masa to surround the jam, and roll them in the same direction around the tamal. (If the husk is too small, fold one of the long sides towards the center, and then fold the other long side on top.) Fold down the empty tapered section of the corn husk, forming a closed bottom. This will leave the top of the tamal open. Tie with a corn husk strip to secure the bottom of the tamal.

Place the tamal in the steamer vertically leaning against the side of the steamer, with the open end on top. Repeat this process until you run out of dough and all the tamales are in the steamer. Cover them with a layer of corn husks. If the steamer is not full, fill the empty spaces with more corn husks. Cover the pot and bring the water to a boil. Turn heat down to medium and cook for 40 minutes. Check the tamales, when they separate easily from the corn husk it means they are done. If they are not done, steam for 10 more minutes and check again.

Remove steamer from the heat and let sit covered for 10 minutes. Uncover and let cool for at least an hour. Don’t be alarmed if the tamales seem really soft. As they cool, they will firm up.

These strawberry tamales are exactly what you&#039;ve been needing. Imagine light and fluffy dough bursting at the seams with sweet, juicy strawberries to create the perfect on-the-go Mexican dessert or snack.

Strawberry Tamales

(~25) corn husks (1.50)

masa harina (0.38)

tsp baking powder (0.01)

salt (0.01)

refined coconut oil (1.49)

tsp vanilla extract (0.22)

½ cup unsweetened plant milk (0.65)

strawberry jam (0.31)

strawberries,

red food coloring optional

First, remove the husks from their package and separate them. Sort through them and set aside any husks that have holes or damage.

Then, add the husks to your kitchen sink or a large bowl of hot water and soak for 30-60 minutes. This will make the husks more pliable and easier to work with during assembly. If they are extra dry, soak them for a few hours or overnight.

Corn husks

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the masa harina, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, stir together the hot water, plant milk, and strawberry jam. Set both aside.

Next using your hands or an electric mixer, whip the softened coconut oil until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes. Add in the sugar and vanilla and mix for 1-2 more minutes.

Add &frac12; of the dry ingredients and &frac12; the strawberry jam mixture, stirring until incorporated. Then, add in the rest of the dry ingredients and the rest of the liquid, and mix until well incorporated, about 4-5 minutes. Lastly, fold in the diced strawberries.

Dough

Dry the husks off with a tea towel to remove excess water. Lay one flat on your counter, making sure the smooth side faces up and the wider end is closer to you.

Scoop approximately &#8531; cup of dough onto the middle of the husk. Spread the dough towards the wide end into a thick layer using the back of a spoon or spatula.

Fold both sides of the husk towards the center so they touch, then tuck both around to one side of the husk to form a tube shape. Where the dough ends, pinch the bottom and fold the husk upwards. Secure the tamal with a string of leftover husk. Continue this process until the rest of the dough is gone.

Assembly

Add about 3-4 cups of water to the bottom of a large stockpot. Place a steamer rack inside and cover it with a layer of the damaged or leftover corn husks. Lean the tamales around the steamer in an upright position. Continue working inwards in a circular fashion until the pot is full.

Cover the tamales with another layer of corn husks and a tea towel on top. Put the lid on your pot, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and steam the tamales for 40-45 minutes.

To check if they are fully cooked, remove 1 tamal at 40 minutes. Let it rest for a few minutes, then attempt to open the husk. If the tamal separates from the husk easily, and the center is spongy, they are ready. If the dough still sticks to the husk, close it up and continue steaming for an additional 5-10 minutes.

Note: make sure to keep a close eye on the water level of your pot during steaming. You don&rsquo;t want to end up with a dry pot!

When the tamales are finished cooking, remove them from the pot and let them rest for about 10 minutes to allow the dough to firm up. Serve the tamales while still warm with more jam on top. Happy eating!
