When measuring cornstarch I cannot stress enough that a kitchen scale is the best way to go. Cornstarch is a very difficult ingredient to measure consistently with a volume spoons measure, so while I list both measures below I cannot stress enough how the grams measure with a scale is going to give you the best results.
I cannot tell you how many times people have complained that their custard is like rubber and they don't know why!
This is from a heavy measure of cornstarch when using volume measuring spoon vs the 100% accurate scale measure in grams.
Serves: 6
Ingredients
  • For the Crust:
  • Oats 1 cup (90g)
  • Raw Almonds 1 cup (225g)
  • Salt pinch
  • Coconut Oil or Vegan Butter Melted 6 Tablespoons (85g)
  • Vegan Sugar ¼ cup (50g)
  • For the Custard:
  • Soy Milk 3 cups (720ml)
  • Cornstarch 6 Tablespoons (42g)
  • Vegan Sugar ½ cup + 2 Tablespoons (125g)
  • Tumeric Powder ¼ teaspoon *for color
  • Vanilla Extract 2 teaspoons
Instructions
  1. First prepare the crust by crushing the almonds with the sugar in a food processor until finely ground.
  2. Add the oats and process again.
  3. Add the melted coconut oil or vegan butter with the salt and process until it all comes together like wet sand.
  4. Press into your tart mold with a removable bottom then freeze while you prepare the custard.
  5. Combine all the ingredients except for the vanilla extract in a medium sauce pot over medium to high heat and bring to a boil stirring occasionally .
  6. Once it starts to bubble be sure to stir constantly to avoid burning on the bottom, and let it boil on low heat for about 30 seconds.
  7. Pour into the frozen crusts and refrigerate to cool and set, approximately 30 minutes
  8. Decorate with your favorite fruits and then brush with melted apple or apricot jam to seal the fruit and keep it shiny
