This week there are two holidays that complement each other perfectly to put on an apron and whip up something delicious: World Baking Day and Father's Day! Of course, not everyone is the biggest fan of baking, and sometimes a recipe doesn't turn out the way you imagine. So today we have a recipe for a fruity blueberry-lemon tart that you just have to chill and don't bake in the oven, and which is guaranteed to be a success!

Well, why is Father's Day an ideal occasion to bake something again? Father's Day is a day on which we show recognition and appreciation to our fathers and the father figures in our lives. So what could be better to express our love and gratitude than to give them something homemade? Of course, the tart tastes even better when you bake it together! So invite your father, bake the tart together and put a smile on his face!☺️

Recipe: Blueberry-Lemon Tart (vegan & no-bake)

Ingredients:

For the biscuit base you need:

  • 300 g butter biscuits (vegan)
  • 200 g vegan butter

For the lemon layer (white) you need:

  • 300 ml coconut milk
  • 3-4 tablespoons agave syrup
  • juice of one lemon
  • half a packet of agar-agar

For the blue layer you need:

  • 1/2 tbsp spirulina powder (or alternatively blue food coloring)
  • 3-4 tablespoons of water (to dissolve the powder)
  • 400 ml coconut milk
  • 2 tablespoons vanilla sugar
  • 40 ml agave syrup
  • half a packet of agar-agar
  • Toppings (blueberries, blackberries, lemons or any fruit)

Here's how:

1. Either crush the cookies in a zip bag with a rolling pin or grind them in a blender.

2. Then put the biscuit crumbs in a bowl and mix with melted butter. Then press into a tart tin (approx. 24-26 cm) and chill for half an hour so that the base sets.

3. In the meantime: Heat the coconut milk in a saucepan and stir in the agar agar. Bring to the boil for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly. Then remove from the heat and add the agave syrup and lemon juice. Pour over the cooled biscuit base and place in the fridge until the mixture has set (approx. 45 minutes - 1 hour).

4. Now repeat the process with the coconut milk and agar agar for the blue layer. After boiling, set aside briefly and allow to cool. During this time: dissolve 1/2 tablespoon of spirulina powder in water and stir vigorously. Now stir the vanilla sugar, agave syrup and the spirulina water into the coconut milk. Then pour onto the tart and chill again for at least an hour.

5. Decorate with fresh blueberries, blackberries, lemons or any toppings you like and serve!

We wish you a happy World Baking Day and Father’s Day!
