3 tbsp tapioca starch
2 tbsp 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 tsp fine salt
3 tbsp vegan butter, melted
1 tbsp cold water

For the pastry cream

1 cup raw cashews, soaked in cold water for at least 2 hours, then drained
1 can (13.5 oz) full-fat coconut milk
3 tbsp 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.
3 tbsp 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.
1 tsp vanilla extract
⅛ tsp fine salt

For the topping

1 lb fresh strawberries, hulled and halved or sliced
2 tbsp maple syrup
1 tsp fresh lemon juice

Instructions

1
Place the raw cashews in a bowl, cover with cold water, and soak for at least 2 hours (or up to overnight). Drain and rinse before using.
2
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a food processor, pulse together the almond flour, tapioca starch, organic cane sugar, and fine salt until combined. Add the melted vegan butter and cold water, then pulse until the mixture clumps together and holds its shape when pressed between your fingers.
