What better way to celebrate St. Paddy’s day than with Vegan Shamrock Coconut Key Lime Tartlets?!☘ I’m a sucker for key lime ANYTHING so when we were brainstorming recipe ideas for St.Patrick’s day, this was obviously the big winner!! Plus, anything in individual servings is adorable!
We decided to make traditional key lime tartlets but with a vegan twist … and put my vintage tartlet pans to some good use!! Alright, grab your coffee and let’s get to it!!
Ps. There is ZERO food colouring in these tartlets, the green colour comes from Matcha powder!!
Vegan Shamrock Coconut Key Lime Tartlets
Ingredients
- Crust
2 cups 2 vegan graham cracker crumbs
6 tbsp 6 vegan butter, melted
- Filling
1 1/2 cup 1 1/2 raw cashews, soaked overnight or for 10 minutes in boiling water
1/2 cup 1/2 coconut oil, melted
1/2 cup 1/2 maple syrup
Zest of 3 key limes (or 2 regular limes if unavailable)
Juice of 5 key limes (or 3 regular limes if unavailable)
1/2 tsp 1/2 matcha powder (optional – gives the tart a soft green colour)
- Tarts
8 small 8 tartlet pans, greased (or one 9” tart pan)
Large flake coconut, toasted, for serving
Coconut whip cream
Key limes, for garnish
Directions
- Make the crusts: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees, and grease the tartlet pans.
- In a small bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs with melted vegan butter.
- Add 2-3 tablespoons of crust into tartlet pan.
- Starting from the center, use your fingers to press down and up the sides of the pan. Continue until crust is evenly distributed in your pan.
- Bake tartlets for 8 minutes. Set aside to cool.
- Make the filling: In a large blender, combine all filling ingredients and blend on high for 2 minutes or until fully combined.
- Taste and adjust flavours as needed (add more lime, salt, sweetener or matcha for colour).
- Assemble the tarts: Once the crusts have cooled, add 3-4 tbsp filling into each tartlet.
- Top with coconut whip cream, toasted coconut and lime wedges for garnish.
- Serve immediately, or cover and store in the fridge for up to two days. BEST SERVED FRESH!
Wherever you go and whatever you do, may the luck of the Irish be there with you … and don’t forget to bring your Shamrock Coconut Key Lime Tartlets with you …
