Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup coconut oil, solid
• 1/4 cup maple syrup
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup coconut milk, full-fat
• 1/4 cup cornstarch

Crust

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare 6 tart pans by greasing them lightly with coconut oil.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, solid coconut oil, 2 tablespoons of maple syrup, and salt. Mix until the dough comes together.
3. Press the dough evenly into the bottom and up the sides of the tart pans. Prick the bottoms with a fork.
4. Bake for 12-15 minutes until lightly golden. Let cool completely.

Filling

1. In a saucepan, whisk together coconut milk, cornstarch, granulated sugar, mango puree, and the remaining 2 tablespoons of maple syrup. Heat the mixture over medium heat.
2. Cook, stirring continuously until the mixture thickens and becomes pudding-like, around 5-7 minutes.
3. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
4. Pour the filling into the cooled tart shells and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until set.

Assembly

1. Once chilled and set, remove the tarts from the pans.
2. Garnish with fresh mango slices and a sprinkle of shredded coconut.
3. Serve chilled and enjoy your vegan tropical treat!
