Method
 

  1. Preheat the Oven:
    Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line an 10 inch pizza pan or baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Making the Crust:
    In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, 2 tbsp of sugar, and salt. Add the melted coconut oil (or vegan butter) and mix until combined.Gradually pour in the cold water, stirring until a dough forms.Shape the dough into a ball and flatten it into a circle.Place it in the prepared pan, pressing gently to evenly cover the base.
  3. Prepare the Filling:
    In a separate bowl, combine the blueberries, sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, vanilla extract, and 2 tbsp flour.Gently stir until the blueberries are evenly coated—avoid overmixing to prevent breaking the berries.
  4. Assemble the Tart:
    Spoon the blueberry mixture into the center of the crust, spreading it out while leaving about 1/2 inch of dough uncovered around the edges.Gently fold the edges over the filling to create a rustic, free-form crust.
  5. Add the Finishing Touches:
    Brush the crust with coconut milk, maple syrup, or agave, and sprinkle with turbinado sugar for a golden, sweet finish.
  6. Bake the Tart:
    Bake for 35–45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  7. Cool and Serve:
    Allow the tart to cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature—perfect on its own or with a scoop of vegan vanilla ice cream!

Notes

💡 Baker’s Tip:

For an extra burst of flavor, try adding a pinch of cinnamon to the filling or a drizzle of lemon glaze after baking.
