Peach, Basil & Custard Tart

Ingredients

Pastry

  • 1 cup plain flour
  • 1/4 cup caster sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup vegan margarine
  • 1/3 cup chilled water

Custard

  • 1 cup caster sugar
  • 1/2 cup plain flour
  • 1 tablespoon agar agar powder
  • 1 litre soy milk
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Topping

  • 2 yellow peaches, cut into wedges
  • Handful of basil

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 100°C and grease a quiche tin.
  2. In a food processor, process the flour, sugar, salt and vegan margarine until it resembles breadcrumbs.
  3. Add the chilled water and process until a dough comes together.
  4. Tip out onto a lightly floured bench and knead for a minute or two before wrapping in clingwrap and place in the fridge for 15 minutes.
  5. Roll the pastry out to a .5cm disc and gently place into the tin. Gently press the pastry into the grooves of the tin and tap on the bench to get the pastry in place.
  6. Slice the excess pastry off the edges of the tin with a sharp knife.
  7. Cut out a circular piece of baking paper and sit on top of the pastry before filling with baking weights.
  8. Blind bake the crust for 15 minutes then remove from the oven to cool. Turn the oven up to 220°C.
  9. Make the custard filling by chucking the sugar and agar agar in a saucepan, then sifting in the flour.
  10. Add the soy milk and vanilla before whisking constantly over medium-high heat until thick.
  11. Pour the custard into the crust and allow to cool for 10 minutes before adding peach pieces and basil.
  12. Bake in the oven for 30 minutes until the peach starts to cook on top. Remove from the oven and allow to sit for a little while before serving warm.

ENJOY!!!
