vegan lemon meringue

The classic lemon tart has always been a staple in my house. The super tangy dessert is always a hit, even when made Dairy Free, Eggless and Vegan!

Easy Vegan Lemon Tart

(150 gramsr) Plain Flour

(50 gramsr) Almond Meal

tbsp (20 gramsr) Icing Sugar

(100 gramsr) Coconut Oil

(60 milliliters) Cold Water

Lemon

(220 milliliters) Coconut Cream

tbsp (60 gramsr) Caster Sugar (or

tbsp (15 gramsr) Cornstarch

teasp. (3 gramsr) Agar Agar Powder

teasp. Turmeric Powder (optional, to taste for colouring)

Place the Plain Flour, Almond Meal and Icing Sugar in the bowl of your food processor. Pulse a few times to mix all the dry ingredients together. 

Add the cold Coconut Oil and pulse until it resemble wet sand / thin crumbs. Add the cold water and continue pulsing until the pastry comes together.

Transfer onto a lightly floured surface and assemble into a ball. Cover with wrap and leave in the fridge for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the coconut oil starts to harden.

Preheat your oven on 180&#039;C / 350&#039;F.Generously flour your kitchen bench and roll the pastry to create a large disc. If the pastry cracks, simply use your fingers to re-assemble it. Place in a Tart Tin with removable bottom and prick the crust with a fork. Cover with a small sheet of baking paper and fill with baking beads, weights or dried beans.

Bake for 10 to 15 minutes with the beads/weight, then carefully remove and leave to cook for another 5 to 10 minutes or until fully cooked. Set aside to cool down.

Pastry Crust

Mix the Lemon Juice, Coconut Cream, Caster Sugar, Cornstarch and Turmeric Powder until no lumps remain. Place in a small pot and bring to a slow boil. Don&#039;t stop whisking the liquid until it starts thickening to avoid burning it. Taste and adjust the sweetness to your liking if required.

When the curd starts to boil, add the Agar Agar Powder, whisk for one extra minute and remove from the stove. Directly pour into the blind-baked pastry and place in the fridge to set for 2 hours.&nbsp;

Optional: decorate with Aquafaba Meringues or Lemon Zests.

Vegan Lemon Curd

Vegan Lemon Meringue Pie - simply perfect, made with a zesty and tart vegan lemon curd and an easy biscuit base, topped with sweet vegan aquafaba meringue.

Vegan Lemon Meringue Pie

lemon juice ((1 cup))

237 ml coconut milk, tinned ((1 cup))

vanilla essence

sugar ((1 cup))

cornstarch

tsp agar agar

200 ml aquafaba, unsalted chickpea liquid ((3/4 cups + 1 tbsp))

tsp cream of tartar

Place the biscuits into a food processor and pulse until they are broken down.

Melt the vegan butter, then combine the biscuit crumbles with the melted butter, and press the mix into the bottom and sides of your pointing.**

Place the pie base into the fridge for at least 30 minutes.

Create the biscuit base

Place the butter, lemon juice, coconut milk, vanilla essence, and icing sugar into a medium-size saucepan over low heat. Bring to a simmer while stirring regularly.

In a small bowl, whisk the cornstarch and agar agar powder with 3 tbsp of water or plant milk.

Pour the mix into your lemon curd and continue to stir for 5-10 minutes on the lowest heat setting or until the mix begins to thicken.

Immediately pour the lemon curd into the pie crust and place your lemon pie into the fridge to set for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Create the vegan lemon curd

Place the aquafaba into a saucepan and simmer on low heat until reduced to 125 ml.***

Transfer the reduced aquafaba to a mixing bowl. Combine with the cream of tartar and whisk with an electric hand mixer until stiff peaks form.

Place the granulated sugar and water into a non-stick saucepan and bring to a simmer on low to medium heat until it reaches 116-118°C (without stirring!).

Create the aquafaba meringue

Pour the hot sugar syrup into the whipped aquafaba and continue to whisk until well combined.

Transfer the meringue mixture to a piping bag and decorate your pie - or alternatively spoon it on top for a more rustic finish.

Use a torch to lightly brown the vegan meringue, and slice to serve.
