A vibrant and elegant dessert featuring a tender, nutty crust, smooth tahini cream filling, and a colorful arrangement of fresh seasonal fruit, finished with a glossy apricot glaze.

Ingredients

1 cup 1-to-1 gluten-free flour (or all-purpose unbleached flour)

1/2 cup almond flour

3 tbsp coconut oil

2 tbsp tahini

1 tbsp maple syrup

Pinch of salt

3 tbsp unsweetened vanilla cashew milk (or other plant-based milk)

1 1/2 cups unsweetened cashew milk

2 tbsp granulated sugar

3 tbsp cornstarch

1 tsp natural vanilla extract

3 tbsp tahini

Optional: 1/2 cup vegan chocolate chips

Optional: 1 tsp coconut oil

Fresh fruit (green and golden kiwi, raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, strawberries)

2 tbsp apricot preserves

A little warm water (for glaze)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a bowl, combine gluten-free flour, almond flour, coconut oil, tahini, maple syrup, salt, and cashew milk. Mix until a dough forms.
  3. Press the dough evenly into a 9-inch tart pan, covering the base and sides. Prick the base with a fork to prevent bubbling.
  4. Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until lightly golden. Let cool completely.
  5. In a saucepan, whisk together cashew milk, sugar, cornstarch, and vanilla. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until thickened.
  6. Remove from heat and whisk in tahini until smooth. Let cool to room temperature.
  7. (Optional) Melt chocolate chips with coconut oil over simmering water. Spread over cooled crust and let set.
  8. Spread the tahini cream evenly over the crust or chocolate layer.
  9. Arrange fresh fruit decoratively on top.
  10. Warm apricot preserves with a little water until smooth. Brush lightly over the fruit for shine.
  11. Chill before serving.

Notes

Chill the dough before baking for a crispier crust.

Use seasonal fruits for variety.

Assemble fruit topping just before serving to maintain freshness.

Recipe works with dairy or plant-based milk.

For a nut-free version, substitute almond flour with oat flour and tahini with sunflower seed butter.
