Instructions

Make the cranberry custard filling

  • Place the cranberries in a saucepan along with the sugar and maple syrup. Bring to a boil and let the cranberries cook, stirring frequently, until they have popped and released a lot of juices. Continue to cook another 10 minutes.
  • Blend the cashews with ½ cup of water into a very smooth paste. Add to the cranberry sauce and stir to mix.
  • In a small bowl, mix the tapioca starch with the nondairy milk, until incorporated and smooth. This is best done with a little whisk or fork. Pour this mixture into the cranberries and stir. Bring back to a boil and turn off the heat.

Assemble the tart:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F
  • Roll our the pie crust to a diameter slightly larger than your tart or pie pan. You should be able to fit the dough to cover the bottom and the sides of the pan.
  • Place the pie crust into the pie or tart pan and fit to the sides. If making this in a tart pan, use a rolling pin to trim off the excess crust from the top of the tart pan. If making in a pie pan, fold any overhanging dough under the edges and crimp the edges to make a decorative border, with your fingers or the tines of a fork.
  • Place the tart pan or pie pan on a baking sheet. Pour the cranberry custard into the pan and bake for 50 minutes.
  • Remove the pan to a rack and let the pie cool completely before serving. You can even chill the tart in the refrigerator for a few minutes before serving.
  • Serve with dollops of vegan whipped cream -- it goes beautifully with the tart-sweet pie.

Notes

  • You can make this quicker by using a storebought pie crust.
  • To make the recipe nut-free, use ½ cup of canned coconut milk instead of the cashew cream. Use the thick part only.
