5 grams (1 teaspoon) baking powder
90 grams (0.5 cup) topinambour syrup

We recommend:

For the Filling:

250 grams (2 cups) baked pumpkin
170 grams (0.75 cup) coconut milk (17-19%)
20 grams (2 tablespoons) cornstarch
30 grams (2 tablespoons) syrup
5 grams (1 teaspoon) coconut sugar
a pinch of spices (vanilla, cinnamon, clove, nutmeg)

Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Crust

In a mixing bowl, combine *green buckwheat flour*, *gluten-free flour*, *almond flour*, *baking powder*, *salt*, and *cinnamon*. Stir well to ensure an even mix.

Next, add the *topinambour syrup*, *vegetable oil*, and *plant-based milk*. Mix until a dough forms. Allow the dough to rest for about 5 minutes.

Roll out the dough on a piece of parchment paper until it is about 0.5 cm thick. Carefully transfer it to a 22 cm (9 inch) tart pan. Line the bottom with parchment paper and grease the sides with oil.

Press the dough into the tart pan and prick the bottom with a fork to prevent bubbling. Bake in a preheated oven at 175°C (350°F) for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown. Allow it to cool completely.

Step 2

Prepare the Filling

In a saucepan, combine all filling ingredients: *baked pumpkin*, *coconut milk*, *cornstarch*, *syrup*, and *coconut sugar*. Mix thoroughly.

Cook the mixture over low heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens. This should take a few minutes. Be careful not to let it boil.

Once thickened, pour the filling over the cooled crust and smooth it out evenly.

Refrigerate the tart for 3-4 hours to stabilize the filling.

Step 3

Serve and Enjoy

Once set, you can decorate the tart according to your preference. Toppings like *whipped cream*, *coconut yogurt*, or *pastry cream* work wonderfully.

This tart is not only visually appealing but also *deliciously tender* and *flavorful*. Perfect for gatherings or a cozy dessert night!

Faq

  • What if my dough is too crumbly?

    If your dough isn’t coming together, try adding a tiny bit more oil or plant-based milk to help bind it. Remember, gluten-free dough can behave differently than traditional dough!

  • How do I know when my tart is done baking?

    Look for a golden color and a firm crust. You can also lightly press down in the center – it should feel set and not jiggly.

  • Can I prepare the tart filling in advance?

    Absolutely! You can make the filling a day ahead and refrigerate it until you're ready to assemble the tart. This actually enhances the flavors!

  • What if I want to make smaller tarts?

    Using a muffin tin is a perfect solution! Just adjust the baking time based on the smaller size and keep an eye on them.

  • How do I store leftovers?

    Wrap any leftover tart tightly in plastic wrap or store it in an airtight container. It should last in the fridge for up to three days.

  • Can I freeze the pumpkin tart?

    Yes, you can freeze the tart! Just make sure it's completely cooled and wrapped well. It can last up to two months in the freezer. Just thaw in the fridge before serving!
