Ingredients
Scale
Strawberry Rhubarb Sauce:
- 12 ounces fresh (or frozen) rhubarb stalks, trimmed of leaves, sliced into 1-inch pieces
- 12 ounces fresh (or frozen) strawberries, sliced
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/3 cup organic cane sugar
Whole Grain Pastry:
- 1 cup almond flour or meal
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- 2 tablespoons organic cane sugar
- 1/3 cup dairy-free margarine, softened
- ¼ cup plant-based milk, plain, unsweetened
Topping:
- ½ cup dairy-free dark chocolate chips
- Additional strawberries for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Make the Strawberry Rhubarb Sauce: Place sliced rhubarb and strawberries in a medium pot. Add lemon juice and sugar, and stir well over medium heat.
- Cover, bring to a simmer over medium heat, and cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring frequently, until fruit is tender and thickened. Remove from heat.
- While sauce is cooking, prepare Whole Grain Pastry: In a medium bowl, mix together almond flour or meal, whole wheat flour, baking powder, and sugar. Cut in margarine with a fork to make a crumbly texture. Mix in plant-based milk and gently combine to make a smooth dough.
- Preheat oven to 375 F.
- Pat out pastry dough evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch tart pan with removable bottom which has been sprayed with nonstick cooking spray. Pierce several times with a fork. Place in the center of the oven and bake for 8 minutes.
- Remove pastry from the oven and spread the strawberry rhubarb sauce evenly over the top of the pastry. Return to the oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes until golden and firm.
- Remove from oven, and sprinkle with dark chocolate chips while warm.
- Allow to rest for 10 minutes before slicing it with a sharp knife into 8 slices. May top with additional strawberries before serving.
- This is also delicious served with plant-based ice cream.
