Preparation Steps
- Preheat your oven to 180ºC (fan). In a mixing bowl, combine 250g of plain flour, zest from 1 medium lemon, and 50g of caster sugar. Cut in 200g of softened dairy-free butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Firmly press the dough into mini tartlet tins, prick the bases with a fork, and bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown. Allow them to cool briefly while you prepare the filling.
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, whisk together 250g of coconut cream, 160g of fresh lemon juice, 250g of caster sugar, 6 tablespoons of cornflour, and a pinch of turmeric. Stir continuously until the mixture thickens, about 5 minutes. Once thickened, quickly pour the luscious filling into the pre-baked crusts. Bake the filled tarts for an additional 10 minutes, then remove and let them cool completely.
- After baking, allow your Mini Vegan Lemon Tarts to cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes. Once cooled, transfer them to the fridge to set for at least 6 hours.
- When ready to serve, whip 220ml of dairy-free whipping cream until soft peaks form. Gently pipe the cream into flower shapes atop each mini tart, creating a whimsical presentation.
- Once decorated, these beautiful tarts are ready to be shared! Serve your Mini Vegan Lemon Tarts chilled as a refreshing dessert.

Notes
Use fresh lemons for the best flavor. Decorate with cream just before serving to prevent melting.
