This Dairy Free Lemon Tart with Pretzel Crust is also naturally gluten free and lower in sugar while being easy to whip up. The hardest part of the recipe is waiting for the tart to set in the fridge, everything else is super simple!

Also, please note that this tart is meant to be soft and light, so be sure to enjoy it immediately out of the fridge to avoid it melting too much!

Ingredients Equipment Method

Ingredients
  

Pretzel Crust
  • 1 cup popcorn, crushed (LesserEvil Lemonade Popcorn adds a fun flavor, can sub pretzels need be)
  • 3 cups gluten free pretzels, crushed (I use Quinn)
  • ¼ cup vegan butter, melted (I use Miyokos)
  • ¼ cup raw honey
Lemon Tart Filling
  • 1 ¾ cup scoop-able canned coconut cream (chilled in the refrigerator, need be)
  • ½ cup monkfruit sugar (can sub white sugar or white coconut sugar)
  • 3 small lemons, zested and juiced (about ⅓ cup)
  • ⅓ cup arrowroot flour
  • 2 tbsp vegan butter
  • 1 ½ tsp vanilla extract
Garnishes (Optional)
  • strawberries
  • flowers

Equipment

  • Tart Pan
  • Food Processor or Blender

Method
 

Crust
  1. Preheat your oven to 350° F.
  2. In a food processor, pulse popcorn and pretzels until they are crushed into a combination of small pieces and powder. In a large bowl, combine the popcorn/pretzel mixture with melted butter and honey and stir to combine.
  3. In a circular tart pan with a removable bottom, add the crust mixture to the pan, pressing down to form the crust shape.
  4. Bake the crust for 8-10 minutes.
  5. When the crust is done baking, you can gently reshape the crust in any areas, need be.
Tart
  1. Whisk together all ingredients on the stove over medium heat for 5-10 minutes, stirring constantly.
  2. Once the filling thickens slightly (it should cover the back of a spoon or spatula), pour it into the cooled crust.
  3. Place the tart in the refrigerator to set for 5 hours, at least, and up to overnight. Note that the tart will be a soft and silky in texture, not super firm.
  4. Once set, decorate with fresh strawberries and serve immediately as it can soften quickly (but will still be delicious!).
