Vegan Peanut Butter Tart

Vegan Peanut Butter Tart

Made without dairy, this peanut butter tart with a delicious fig crust is deceptively cream and so easy to make.

We love experimenting with new vegan, gluten free, or dietary ingredients. This month, we played with dairy-free foods from Kite Hill. We made overnight oats with their versatile almond yogurts, topped our Turkish eggs with crumbles of their almond cheese, snuck almond ricotta into a pan of lasagna (No one noticed the substitution!), and swiped our bagels with their dairy-free chive cream cheese.

While most dairy-free ingredeints are only suitable when they are hidden and disguised in dishes, Kite Hill has a wheel of almond cheese with a seriously deceiving rind that we served on its own with grapes and other cheese board accoutrements. It was perfect and made our vegan and dairy-free guests quite pleased.

The web is loaded with vegan peanut butter tarts, but most are made with creamy coconut milk. While those variations are quite delicious, they end up tasting like a coconut-peanut butter tart. So, we set out to create a nutty tart that was just that, but also without dairy. Enter Kite Hill’s almond cream cheese. With a fig crust and a cream center, this peanut butter tart is too easy and dare we say vegan perfection.
