Ingredients
  

Vegan Sweet Pastry Crust:

  • 115 g Vegan Butter from a stick
  • 60 grams Sugar
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 170 grams All Purpose Flour
  • 1/4 tsp Salt

For Vegan Almond Frangipane:

  • 80 grams Vegan Butter softened
  • 115 grams Sugar
  • 40 grams All Purpose Flour
  • 1 tbsp Cornstarch
  • 85 grams Aquafaba 1/3 cup
  • 175 grams almond flour
  • 1/2 tsp Baking Powder
  • 2 tsp Vanilla Extract

Extras:

  • 3/4 cup Fig Jam * See notes
  • Vegan Whipped Cream
  • Fresh Figs sliced ** See notes

Instructions
 

  • To prepare sweet pastry crust, combine softened Vegan Butter and Sugar in a bowl. Whisk till light and creamy. Add Vanilla Extract and whisk well.
  • Add sifted All Purpose Flour and Salt to your creamed butter and using a fork or pastry cutter, "cut" the flour into the butter until a soft dough forms. Don't overwork it.
  • Transfer dough to worktop and knead no more than 3-4 times, until the dough comes together.
  • Flatten slightly and wrap entirely in cling wrap, then let sit in the fridge to rest for 2 hours.
  • Meanwhile, make Vegan Almond Frangipane.
  • In a bowl, cream Vegan Butter and Sugar until light and creamy. Whisk in Flour, Cornstarch, Baking Powder, Vanilla Extract, Aquafaba and Ground Almonds.
  • Once your dough is fully chilled, preheat oven to 175 Celsius/350 F. Remove dough from fridge and dust your counter top with a thin layer of flour.
  • Roll your dough out until it is slightly larger than a 9 inch tart tin and then line your tin with the dough. Trim off excess and freeze the tart tin for 15 minutes.
  • After 15 minutes, remove from freezer and spread a generous layer of Fig Jam in the bottom of your lined tart tin.
  • Pour Vegan Almond Frangipane into tart case until it is filled to the brim. Even almond cream out and stud with small pieces of chopped Fresh Fig.
  • Bake tart in oven for 45-50 minutes or until golden and cooked through.
  • When tart has cooled down, remove from tin. I like to chill it for 4-6 hours to let the Almond Frangipane set up, but this is optional.
  • Decorate with Vegan Whipped Cream and more Fresh Fig pieces.

Notes

* You can replace Fig Jam with any other Jam, and the fresh Figs for any other fruit. I love Raspberry Jam + Raspberries or Blueberry Jam and Fresh Blueberries as an alternative.
