Lemon Blueberry Tarts

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

Springy lemon blueberry tarts with a crispy gluten-free cereal crust, silky sweet-tart no bake lemon filling, and homemade berry jam swirl. These tartlets are a go-to spring/summer sweet treat – the swirls always impress, but the recipe is SO easy to make!

SPONSORED BY SUNBUTTER


The first official week of summer and I am giving it the BIGGEST baking embrace with as many summer-vibin’ berry treats as possible. In my opinion there is no better fruit flavor combination than lemon + blueberry, and a dreamy little crumb crust meets creamy filling meets berry whirls mini tart situation is the perfect form to enjoy it. I mean just look at those sweet purple swirls…

How To Make These Mini Berry Tarts

These tarts come together in three (easy!) parts: crumb crust, dairy-free lemon filling, saucy blueberry swirl.

Gluten-Free SunButter Cereal Crumb Crust

Forget graham crackers, THIS is the ultimate way to make an easy press-in crumb crust (and it’s a little healthier too!) With brown rice cereal as the crumb base, SunButter instead of butter butter, and the perfect salty-sweet golden result after a quick 12ish minutes in the oven. Let’s break down the ingredient list:

  • Toasted rice cereal. I like to use a brown rice variety, but regular ol’ rice krispies will work like a charm too. What you shouldn’t swap in is puffed rice cereal, the will result in a soft soggy sad crust mess.
  • Agave or maple syrup. Or honey if not vegan, whatever liquid sweetener you got.
  • Coconut oil. Or melted vegan butter will be fine too.
  • SunButter. And for a little extra texture and sunflower crunch, I went with Crunchy SunButter for this recipe. SunButter acts as the binder to hold our crumb crust together enough, but still allows for delicious crumble-ibility when fork hits crust.
  • Vanilla and salt.

Dreamy Dairy-Free Lemon Cream Filling

And just like that, the baking portion of the recipe is done and it’s all blending and no-baking from here. Next up, our TANGY and CREAMY lemon filling. You will need:

  • Raw cashews. Soaked overnight (or if you’re in a hurry 3 hours in boiling water works too), drained, and rinsed. This will blend up to be the creamiest lemon curd-ish texture, just trust me.
  • Coconut milk. We need a little extra liquid to get the cashews blending, so why not go with the milk that will give us maximum creaminess and help our tarts set up in the fridge too? Full fat coconut milk in a can is your best choice, if you opt for anything lighter you may have to freeze your tarts to get the filling sliceable and firm.
  • Agave or maple syrup. Again, whatever liquid sweetener your have/love.
  • Coconut oil. Just a little bit, again this is mostly to help them set just right.
  • Lemon juice. And now we get to the tangy flavor portion of the ingredient list, I did not go light on the citrusy flavor.
  • Lemon zest. More flavah baby!

Quick Blueberry Jam Swirl

Why use a jarred jam when you can whip up this simple sweet blueberry sauce in less than 10 minutes? There will be extra after swirling on top of the tarts, so save it for topping ice cream or yogurt or oats or…anything!

Frozen blueberries, a little sweetener, a dash of vanilla, and a spoonful of starch to thicken – that’s all you need. Combine everything in a small saucepan and cook/stir into a bubbling, beautiful, jammy purple sauce. I like to make this part first actually, and let it cool while prepping the rest. You can even make it the day before.

    Dear Natalie,
    My mom requested lemon/blueberry for her birthday this year. Of course you had the ideal recipe, 😊 which I followed exactly, except I put it in a 9” tart pan.
    It was a huge hit! Delicious! Creamy! Crunchy! Not too sweet. Thank you!
    ❤️

TOASTED COCONUT CAKE🥥🥥 ‘Tis the season for TOASTED COCONUT CAKE🥥🥥 ‘Tis the season for tropical baked treats while summer excitement is high, before it’s too hot to even turn the oven on at all. This one packs in SIX forms of coconut, so there is no lack of toasty flavor here😎

INGREDIENTS
3/4 cup (180g) unsweetened applesauce
3/4 cup (165g) coconut butter (can sub tahini)
1/4 cup (60g) coconut milk
1/2 cup (70g) coconut sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tbsp lemon juice
1/3 cup (40g) coconut flour
1/3 cup (40g) tapioca flour
1/2 cup (35g) unsweetened shredded coconut (plus more for topping)
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 can coconut cream, chilled overnight

Preheat the oven to 325ºF. Spread about 1 cup of unsweetened shredded coconut on a pan and toast for 5-10 minutes until golden brown (check/stir halfway through). Increase oven temperature to 350ºF. 

Whisk together applesauce, coconut butter, coconut milk, coconut sugar, vanilla, and lemon juice. Add the flours, baking soda, and salt. Fold in ½ cup toasted coconut. Transfer to a greased baking dish (mine was 10″x6”, but a regular 8″x8″ pan will work too) and smooth the top (spray spatula in nonstick spray to make it easier). Bake for 25-30 minutes at 350ºF. The edges should be golden and the center bounces back when lightly pressed when it’s done. Cool completely on a cooling rack.

Spoon out the solid part from the chilled can of coconut cream. Whip with a hand mixer, adding 1-2 tbsp sweetener if desired. Spread coconut whipped cream on top of cooled cake. Sprinkle with more toasted coconut.  Slice and eat!

No-Churn Pistachio Ice Cream💚 A love it or hate No-Churn Pistachio Ice Cream💚 A love it or hate it flavor, but if you love it you will LOVE this recipe! Dairy-free, just 6 ingredients, and creamy as can be thanks to @edwardandsons Let’s Do Organic Heavy Coconut Cream🍨

INGREDIENTS
-1 cups (130g) raw pistachios, shells removed
-2 cans 13.5oz cans @edwardandsons Let’s Do Organic Heavy Coconut Cream
-1/3 cup (105g) maple syrup
-1 tsp vanilla extract
-1 tsp almond extract
-1/2 tsp salt
-Optional: 1/8 tsp spirulina or 1/4 tsp matcha powder for color

INSTRUCTIONS
Shake the coconut cream cans and pour the entire contents into a medium saucepan. Add pistachios, maple syrup, and salt. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and simmer for 15 minutes stirring occasionally. It will thicken slightly and the pistachios will soften. Remove from heat, stir in the extracts, cool 10 minutes. Blend until very smooth.

Pour into a silicone ice cube tray and freeze overnight. The next day, blend the cubes with a splash of coconut cream until creamy. If you don’t have a blender with a tamper, I recommend using a food processor and stopping to scrape down the sides often. You will have a soft-serve consistency at this point.

Transfer to a loaf pan, freeze 30-60 minutes until it is scoop-able but not frozen solid. Then scoop and serve. Keep leftovers in the freezer, covered. To serve from fully frozen, thaw 30-45 minutes until soft enough to scoop.

If you have an ice cream maker: cool the mixture 1-2 hours after blending, then churn for 30-45 minutes

If you have a Ninja Creami: cool the mixture for 30 minutes, then pour into Creami containers and freeze overnight. Then process on the ice cream setting. If it comes out powdery, add a splash of coconut milk and re-spin 1 to 2 times

Copycat KUDOS GRANOLA BARS😋 a.k.a. really yummy Copycat KUDOS GRANOLA BARS😋 a.k.a. really yummy, chewy, easy, chocolate chip, chocolate dipped, granola bars!

INGREDIENTS
-4 cups (120g) crispy rice cereal
-2 cups (160g) quick oats
-2 14oz cans sweetened condensed coconut milk
-1/2 tsp salt
-3/4 cup (120g) mini chocolate chips
-1/2 cup (80g) chocolate chips, melted

Combine cereal, oats, and salt in a large bowl. In a small saucepan, heat the sweetened condensed coconut milk to a simmer. Simmer and whisk until smooth and visibly thickened (8-10 minutes). Pour on top of the dry ingredients and mix until evenly coated. Set aside to cool about 10-15 minutes (IMPORTANT so you don’t melt the chocolate chips!)

Preheat the oven to 250°F. Fold in mini chocolate chips. Transfer mixture to a square baking dish (8×8”) lined with parchment paper, place a piece of wax paper on top, and use your hands or another pan to press in VERY firmly. Bake 1 hour at 250°F. Cool, then chill 4 hours (makes them easier to slice/coat). Lift out of the pan, slice into 10 bars.

Dip the bottom of each bar in melted chocolate, then place on wax paper to set. Drizzle the tops with more melted chocolate. Chill until chocolate is set.

EASY LINZER FLOWERS🌸 Perfect last minute baking EASY LINZER FLOWERS🌸 Perfect last minute baking for a mama you appreciate, or just a springy sweet treat for yourself too. With a raspberry pomegranate filling that is the perfect tart-sweet balance to these buttery cookies❤️

INGREDIENTS
-1/2 cup (113g) dairy-free butter, softened
-1/2 cup (110g) cane sugar
-2 tsps vanilla extract
-1 1/2 cups (180g) gluten-free or all-purpose flour
-3/4 cup (84g) almond flour
-Zest of one lemon
-1/4 tsp salt
-1 jar @stdalfourusa Raspberry & Pomegranate Fruit Spread
-Optional: 1/2 cup white chocolate chips, melted for dipping/drizzling OR powdered sugar for dusting

In a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment or using a hand-mixer, beat the softened butter until light and fluffy (about two minutes). Add sugar and vanilla extract, beat again to combine. Place a mesh strainer on top of the bowl and measure out the flours and salt. Sift in all together, then add the lemon zest. Mix on medium speed to form a crumbly dough. 

Gently knead the dough into a ball. Roll out the dough between two sheets of wax paper to about 1/4 inch thickness. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Cut out using a linzer cookie cutter–half should be solid cookies, half should have the center punched out. Carefully transfer cookies to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake 9-10 minutes, until golden brown around the edges. Let them cool 10 minutes on the pan, then transfer to a rack to cool completely. 

Flip over the solid cookies, and place a teaspoon of fruit spread on the center of each. Top with the cut-out cookies. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
