How to make this vegan Berry Tart with Nut Crust

The preparation is very uncomplicated.

This is how you make this berry tart

For the nut and cocoa crust, put all the ingredients in a blender and mix until it has a sand-like texture. It has to stick together between your fingers. If it still crumbles, add 1-2 tablespoons of melted coconut oil and/or 1-2 dates and mix the mixture again.

The reason for this is that dates vary. Some are very soft, others are rather dry.

Now press the mixture firmly into a tart pan and bake it in a preheated oven at 170°C / 338°F for about 25 minutes. When finished baking let cool at room temperature for 30 minutes.

For the berry cream, put all the ingredients in a pot and bring to the boil. Everything should now simmer over medium heat for 3-4 minutes. Then put everything in a blender (carefull - hot) and mix it until it is fine and creamy. If you have used a lot of berries with seeds, I recommend pressing the cream through a sieve to remove these seeds.

The finely mixed berry cream is now poured into the cooled crust.

Don't panic if it's very fluid. This is completely normal. Agar Agar gels below 40°C / 104°F and the cream becomes firm and creamy when cooled.

The finished berry tart needs to be chilled in the refrigerator for 5 hours or overnight.

Add toppings of your choice before serving.

Easy Berry Tart Recipe - Tips & FAQ

Can I use fresh and frozen berries?

Yes! It's up to you whether you use fresh or frozen berries. If they come straight from the freezer, the cream must be cooked until the berries are nice and soft and everything is simmering.

I usually use frozen berries. In my experience, the color of the berry cream becomes more intense if you use frozen berries.

Which berries are best for this tart?

I usually make the tart with mixed berries: raspberries, blueberries, red currants and blackberries. It's totally up to you which berries you'll use.

What do I do if the cream is very fluid when I pour it into the crust?

Don't worry, this is completely normal. It should even be liquid. Agar Agar gels at below 40°C / 104°F. After the berry tart has been chilled in the refrigerator, it will be perfectly firm and creamy.

Can I make this vegan Berry Tart ahead of time?

Yes. You should actually 🙂 The cream needs 5 hours in the fridge until it has set properly. You can make the berry tart up to 24 hours in advance. It's best to decorate right before serving.

Which tart pan is best to use?

I only use tart pans with a loose bottom. This way I make sure that I can remove the baked tart from the pan without breaking it. THIS ONE (affiliate link) is very convenient and will save you lots of nerves. :-)
