Chef's tip
Choose a gluten-free baking blend labeled 1:1 or cup-for-cup and use the same amount. Almond and coconut flour won't work the same way.
¼ cup powdered sugar
Chef's tip
Follow the package's conversion to powdered sugar. In frosting or glaze, add liquid gradually - replacements can absorb it differently.
¼ tsp salt
½ cup vegan butter, cold and cut into small cubes
2–3 tbsp ice water

For the filling

1 tbsp lemon zest (from about 2 lemons)
¾ cup fresh lemon juice (from about 4–5 lemons)
1 can (13.5 oz) full-fat coconut milk
¾ cup organic cane sugar
Chef's tip
Use the same volume. Baking behavior varies by blend: some brown faster or stay softer, while others brown less. Follow the package's baking guidance and start checking a few minutes early.
¼ cup cornstarch
Chef's tip
For thickening, use about 1 1/3 times as much tapioca flour, stirred into a spoonful of cold water first; take the pan off the heat soon after it thickens.
¼ tsp salt
2 tbsp vegan butter
1 tsp turmeric powder (optional)

For serving

powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)
Chef's tip
Follow the package's conversion to powdered sugar. In frosting or glaze, add liquid gradually - replacements can absorb it differently.
fresh lemon slices or zest, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, powdered sugar, and salt. Add the cold cubed vegan butter and use your fingertips to work it into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse, pea-sized crumbs.
2
Add ice water 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing with a fork after each addition, until the dough just comes together and holds when pressed — it should not be sticky or wet. Press the dough evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom, aiming for an even thickness of about 1/4 inch throughout.
