Equipment

  • Muffin Pan

Ingredients

Crust

Custard

  • 1 Cup Almond Milk
  • 2 tbsp Cornstarch
  • 2 tbsp Sugar
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract

Toppings

  • Strawberries
  • Blueberries

Instructions

Crust

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F and prep a muffin pan with oil, butter, or cupcake liners.
  • Blend the granola until fine, then mix in coconut oil until well incorporated.
  • Evenly distribute the crust mix for 6 tarts and form the tart crust ½ - ¾ to the top of the pan. Be sure to compact the crust on the bottom and sides to form a bowl for the custard to later be added into.
  • Bake crust for 10-13 minutes or until golden and firm.
  • Allow the crust to cool for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.

Custard

  • Using a medium saucepan, whisk the cornstarch and sugar together.
  • Slowly add in and whisk 1/3 c of the almond milk to prevent any clumps and then add the rest of the almond milk once the cornstarch is dissolved with the vanilla extract.
  • On medium-high heat whisk the mixture until bubbling begins and the mixture begins to thicken like gravy, then turn down the heat to medium-low and switch to using a spatula.
  • Gently simmering, continuously scrap the sides and bottoms for 7-10 minutes until the custard can hold its shape for a few seconds.

Assembly

  • Pour the custard into the crusts.
  • Add some blueberries and strawberries on top, then leave the tarts in the refrigerator until you’re ready to serve.
