Vegan Concord Grape Tart with Almitas™ Yacon Syrup

Equipment

  • 20 cm tart tin 

Ingredients
  

Tart Base

  • 1 cup almonds
  • 1 cup shredded coconut (unsweetened)
  • 4 dates
  • 1/4 cup dried golden berries 
  • 1 tbsp almond butter
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil
  • 1 tsp Almitas™ Yacon Syrup

  • 1 1/2 cups full fat coconut cream
  • 2 cups Concord grapes
  • 2 tbsp Almitas™ Yacon Syrup
  • 1 tsp corn starch
  • 2 tsp agar-agar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract 

Instructions
 

  • Blend all of the crust ingredients in a food processor until you obtain a uniform sticky mixture. 
  • Line the tart tin with parchment paper and spread the crust dough evenly on the whole surface. Press it and leave to chill in the fridge, while you prepare the filling.
  • Heat up the coconut cream in a medium saucepan, stir until smooth. 
  • In a separate saucepan mash the Concord grapes (so they release their juice)
  • Bring them to a slow boil and cook for a few minutes.
  • Strain the grape juice to the coconut cream.
  • Add the vanilla extract, corn starch and agar-agar, heat until the mix thickens, stirring continuously.
  • Remove from the heat, let it cool for a few minutes.
  • Add Yacon Syrup and stir.
  • Pour the filling over the crust (through a sieve to remove any lumps) and leave it to cool completely. Place in the fridge for a few hours, until the filling is completely set.
  • Decorate with Concord grapes and fresh figs. Enjoy!
