Rustic Strawberry-Rhubarb Tart: Easy Vegan Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 tbsp sugar
• 1/2 cup vegan butter, cold and cut into cubes
• 1/4 cup ice water
• 1 cup chopped rhubarb
• 1 cup sliced strawberries
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 2 tbsp cornstarch
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tbsp vegan butter
• Vegan powdered sugar for topping

Instructions:

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, salt, and sugar. Add in cold vegan butter and cut into the flour mixture with a pastry cutter until it reaches pea-sized pieces.
2. Add in ice water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together but is not sticky. Form dough into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
3. Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
4. In another mixing bowl, combine chopped rhubarb, sliced strawberries, sugar, cornstarch, vanilla extract, and vegan butter. Toss until everything is combined.
5. On a floured surface, roll out the chilled dough until it is about 1/4 inch thick. Place the dough on the prepared baking sheet.
6. Add the strawberry-rhubarb mixture in the middle of the dough, leaving about 2 inches of space around the edges.
7. Fold the edges of the dough over the fruit filling, creating a rustic crust. Brush the edges with some water, and sprinkle with additional sugar if desired.
8. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.
9. Let the tart cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Serve with a dusting of vegan powdered sugar if desired.
