Gluten-free Italian shortbread tart, perfect for a holiday gathering or special occasion. Sweet and tart flavors combine beautifully in this elegant dessert.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 3 oz (85 g) Cassava Flour
  • 2 oz (57 g) Rice Flour
  • 1 oz (28 g) Rice Starch
  • 1 oz (42 g) Tigernut Flour
  • 1 oz (28 g) Coconut Milk
  • 1 oz (28 g) Coconut Oil, melted
  • 2 Pasture Raised Yolks
  • 2 tbsp Sugar Free Apricot Jam
  • 2 oz (57 g) Blueberries
  • 1/2 Pomegranate
  • 0 oz (10 g) 100% Dark Chocolate
  • 1 tbsp Coconut Cream (obtained by refrigerating coconut milk overnight)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C).
  2. Combine all ingredients in a bowl and knead by hand for a couple of minutes.
  3. Line a circular baking pan with parchment paper, transfer the dough to the pan, and press it down to the bottom until it is about 3/4 of an inch thick. Use leftover dough to make small cookies.
  4. Spread a thin layer of apricot jam over the dough and bake for 30 minutes at 350°F (177°C).
  5. Wash the blueberries and separate the pomegranate seeds under running water. Once the pie has cooled slightly, decorate with the fruit.
  6. Shave some dark chocolate on top and sprinkle with a few drops of coconut cream.

Notes

  • For a smoother dough, ensure the coconut oil is fully melted and slightly cooled before mixing.
  • If you don’t have tigernut flour, substitute with almond flour for a similar texture.
  • Store the baked pastafrolla in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
