- Why does the crust crumble?
- Vegan shortcrust is more delicate as it lacks egg white to bind. Let cool completely in the tin before slicing!
Vegan Bakewell Tart with Raspberry Jam
A major challenge in plant-based baking is creating egg-free shortcrust and airy almond cream. This recipe solves it brilliantly: coconut oil gives the crust crunch, while almond cream becomes light with baking powder and plant milk. The flavor experience is 100% authentic, without compromise.

1
✓
For crust, crumble cold coconut oil with flour and salt, then add water. Knead quickly and refrigerate for 15 mins.
Tip: Coconut oil must be cold to melt during baking, creating layers.

✓
Roll out dough, line tin, prick. Spread bottom with jam.
Tip: Jam layer 'insulates' dough from the cream.
