Every April, I get excited about rhubarb season! Rhubarb has such a beautiful color and looks amazing on tarts or pies. It is naturally sour, so you will need to add some sort of sweetener to it when baking in desserts. After you bake rhubarb, it becomes so tender and almost melts in your mouth. I created this vegan lemon rhubarb tart to celebrate the beginning of rhubarb season! The crust is made with olive oil, and it turns out very flaky – the key is prebaking it first before filling so it won’t come out soggy. The filling is made with coconut cream, lemon juice and zest, sugar and corn starch to hold everything together. The topping is simply rhubarb and as much sugar or sweetener that you want to add (my husband actually prefers it “tart” and we don’t add much sugar at all – your preference!). You can also brush some flavored fruit jam on top – try strawberry or raspberry!
I make the crust and filling in my Thermomix.
