Indulge in the rich, buttery goodness of Vegan Butter Tarts – a plant-based take on a beloved Canadian classic. These delectable treats offer all the flavor and texture of traditional butter tarts, without the use of any dairy products.
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a 12-cup muffin tin with parchment liners or lightly grease the cup.
2. In a small bowl, combine the cold water and ice cubes. In a large bowl, mix the flour, salt, and sugar. Cut the vegan butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add the ice water, stirring until the dough comes together. Chill the dough for 15-20 minutes.
3. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/8-inch thickness. Cut into circles slightly larger than your muffin tin cup. Press the dough into the tin, forming tart shells.
4. In a medium bowl, whisk together the softened vegan butter, brown sugar, cornstarch, maple syrup, coconut milk, vanilla extract, salt, and vinegar until smooth. Stir in the raisins and chopped pecans.
5. Spoon the filling evenly into the prepared tart shells. Top each with a pecan half, if desired.
6. Bake the tarts for 25-30 minutes, or until the filling is set and lightly golden. Allow them to cool completely in the tin.
7. Carefully remove the tarts from the tin and enjoy!
Choose a high-quality vegan butter that is firm and provides a rich, buttery flavor to the pastry and filling.
Chill the dough before rolling and shaping to help prevent the pastry from becoming too soft and soggy in the baking process.
Store any leftover tarts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply warm them in a 350°F oven for 5-10 minutes.
