Vegan peach puff tarts

When I tell my friends that my diet is mostly vegan, they say they couldn’t do that. If asked why, their answer is surprisingly often the same - they could happily live without meat for months but not without cakes! So they always get a shock when I show them healthy, gluten-free, vegan cake ideas that are actually very yummy and easy to make. This Danish-style Vegan peach puff tarts recipe is one of them. You really don’t need to be a baker to make them and the fruits & jam can be substituted for whatever is in season or that you have in your fridge -  for example cherries, raspberries, strawberries, blueberries, plums, apples would work  just as well. I used gluten-free puff pastry, but normal, dairy-free, light versions are suitable too. If you don’t have Stevia, use sugar or any other sugar-substitutes you have.

Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 sheet ready- rolled puff pastry
  • About 4-5 peaches
  • 3 Tbsp Jam of your choice
  • For the Frangipane:
  • 75 g ground almond
  • 50 g dairy-free spread
  • 50 g Stevia
  • 1 Tbsp ground flax or chia seeds mixed with 3 Tbsp of warm water
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract

Method
 

  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Cut the peaches in half, remove the stones, then slice them into thin, half-moon shapes.
  3. Mix together the frangipane cream.
  4. Unroll the pastry. Using a pizza-cutter, cut the pastry into approx. 8x5 cm rectangles (the peach pieces should fit nicely across them). Put them on the baking sheet, allowing some space between them.
  5. Using a fork, prick the base of each tartlet a few times, then spread some frangipane over them (don’t go to the edge).
  6. Arrange the peach slices neatly on the top, slightly overlapping each other. Heat the jam with 1-2 Tbsp of water and brush the top of the peach slices with this mixture.
  7. Rest the sheet in the fridge for 15 minutes.
  8. Turn on your oven to 200°C.
  9. Take the tarts out of the fridge and bake them for 12- 15 minutes (in the middle of the oven), until golden brown.
  10. Let them cool on a wire-rack.
  11. Dust them with icing sugar just before serving.
