6-Ingredient Vegan Lemon Tart Recipe

This vegan lemon tart (Rainbow Nourishments) is a simple recipe that you are sure to keep making, once you’ve tasted it! Although not local, lemons are a popular ingredient in English desserts. And all can be made with plant-based ingredients. Also try lemon drizzle cake and vegan lemon meringue pie!

Before making, read up on food safety for people and pets (citrus fruits are unsafe near animal friends). 

This creates a homemade shortcrust base with flour and vegan butter (Flora has no palm oil) and is sweetened with sugar, rice syrup or maple syrup. The filling contains both fresh lemon juice and zest, and is made with coconut cream.

Lemons are actually a hybrid fruit (a cross between oranges and citrons) believed to be from Asia or India, though today most are sold here which are grown in Spain. One tree can produce 600 lemons a year!

Rich in in vitamin C, they are also popular in natural cleaning recipes (but never use citrus near pets, not even when cleaning countertops or floors, as all citrus oils are toxic to animal friends). Choose unscented products instead.
