Vegan Raspberry Tarts | The Viet Vegan

These vegan raspberry tarts are a simple treat;
easy to make, easy to eat =P

Vegan Raspberry Tarts | The Viet Vegan

I forgot how much I enjoy baking. With the eczema on my hands, it’s been hard for me to have the mobility to work with dough and be able to wash my hands without excessively damaging my skin. Every now and then, when I have the ability to bake again, I’m reminded how much I love the smell of caramelized sugar wafting in the air after a batch of cookies or pie goes into the oven.

It reminds me of that one pretty terrible movie with Mandy Moore, Diane Keaton, and Gabriel Macht before he got big with Suits. In Because I Said So, Mandy Moore bakes up a batch of cookies right before her date shows up at her house so that her house smelled like cookies, and that sort of stuck with me.

I wouldn’t say that it’s the reason why I like baking, but it’s definitely one of the things I love about baking. When I was in university, I’d come home and bake cookies for my little brother because he didn’t really like sweets that much except for my soft baked chocolate chip cookies (the key is to underbake them!) I guess I baked them so much that he began to associate the smell of baked goods with me.

There was one time around Christmas time, I had been baking and my friend who was visitng asked my brother if he liked the smell of cookies.

He responded with, “Yes! It smells like Lisa.”

It almost made me want to cry–a little out of love, and a little out of guilt. He was probably around 8 or 9 at the time, and it had been about 3 or 4 years of me being in university in Ottawa, so I had spent nearly half his life away from home.

I don’t tend to bake that much anymore–partly because of my hands/eczema, but also because my metabolism can’t handle 3 batches of macaron testing or cupcake testing like it used to. But whenever I do bake, I feel this satisfying feeling that I’m sharing a little good in the world. Paying it forward, one sweet bite at a time, and it makes my house smell good in the process :)

These vegan raspberry tarts were actually for my brother’s school project, where he had to translate a recipe in French. If you want to see us baking together and some silly moments, be sure to check out our video <3

Yield: 24 tarts

Vegan Raspberry Tarts

Vegan Raspberry Tarts | The Viet Vegan
Prep Time 30 minutes
Cook Time 30 minutes
Inactive Time 1 hour
Total Time 2 hours

Ingredients

Raspberry Lime Jam

  • 400 g (14 oz) frozen raspberries, or about 2 pints of fresh raspberries
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • 3-4 tbsp sugar (if you like it tart, stick with 3, if you like it sweeter, try going 4-5 tbsp)
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 batch of the BEST vegan pie crust (add a pinch of salt and 2 tbsp of sugar to this dough since we're making sweet pastry)

Instructions

Raspberry Lime Jam:

  1. To make the jam, in a small pot over medium heat, cook raspberries, water, lime juice and sugar until raspberries have fully broken down and the mixture is nice and bubbly.
  2. Take out about 2 tbsp worth of the liquid and stir in 1 tbsp of cornstarch to make a slurry. Add back into the jam and stir quickly to incorporate and thicken.
  3. Once thickened, remove from heat and transfer to another container to allow to cool (it'll continue cooking if you leave it in the pot).
  4. Preheat oven to 350F.

To make the tarts:

  1. Roll out chilled pie dough to about 1/8-1/6 of an inch thickness. Cut into 3 inch circles and press into the cavities of a cupcake pan. Press well into the sides to make sure it's fully formed.
  2. Prick the bottoms a few times with a fork to prevent air bubbles while baking.
  3. Fill the tart shells half way with the jam (about 1 heaping tbsp per tart), then bake for 10-12 minutes or until the outside edges are nice and golden. If your oven runs a little cool, you may need to bake longer, but just check them at around 11 minutes.
  4. Remove from the pan and let cool completely on a wire rack before eating. Nobody likes hot raspberry lava burning your mouth :(

    Do you know if these freeze well?

      I do not! I imagine they’d freeze fine, you could even freeze them unbaked and then bake them for an extra few minutes until golden

Henlo it's been a very busy week on my end but I've been working hard to try to get back up to 2x a week uploads again. So last week I posted two bookish videos and today I posted my sourdough discard chocolate chip cookies!
🍪
Crisp edges, chewy centre, crunchy flakes of @maldonsalt on top...MMM. A perfect way to use up some sourdough discard!
🍪
Video is up on the channel, and recipe is on the blog🥰https://bit.ly/2LilQk3#thevietvegan #thevietveganrecipes #whatveganseat #sourdoughdiscard #sourdough #🍪

[AD] Tis the season for finger food and delicious bites! So many vegan charcuteries tend to be nut-heavy, but for those who are allergic to many things like me, you might enjoy this pizza snack board I created for @whollyveggie with some marinated mushrooms (recipe on the blog), fresh veggies, and olives, and vegan salami to snack on, with pizza sauce to dunk in!
🍕
I used the Classic Cheese, Margherita pizzas, and Naked Cauliflower Crust that are frozen and delicious for a snack board. I honestly kind of forgot that they were gluten-free because I love a nice, crisp thin crust and this was tender enough to yield a nice, chewy bite while being golden and crisp!
🍕
Find the recipe on my blog, deets on your closest Wholly Veggy retailer on their website, and please tag me and @whollyveggie in your homemade pizza snack boards! I'd love to see how you customize yours :)

Feeling like I got my mojo back! Also coincidentally my cycle ended, so maybe that had something to do with this week of super low energy and negativity 😂❣️😭Today I cleaned out the fridge, treated myself to a schnickers square from @covenhamilton and made some Instant Pot phở because Eddie's been missing @saigonlotustoronto and we haven't been able to go all year (for obvious reasons).You can find the recipe on the blog. I'll put a swipe up link since the link in bio sometimes take a second to populate, or you can use the search bar at the top of my blog! Hope you are all having a relaxing weekend ☺️Instant Pot Phở: http://bit.ly/2DdKATA#thevietvegan #thevietveganrecipes #whatveganseat #veganfoodshare #veganpho #vietvegan #vietnamesefood

A lot of you are celebrating Thanksgiving today, and while this Instant Pot red curry lentil and potato stew is not a Thanksgiving recipe, I wish you all the best this weekend and kindly remind you that Thanksgiving has a lot of colonial, traumatic and genocidal origins of Indigenous peoples across North America.
🍂
Eddie loves Thanksgiving food (I mostly like stuffing/dressing and mashed potatoes haha) so I understand that nostalgia and love for Thanksgiving fare, but I hope you also take this time to continue your education in Indigenous history, culture and how the exploitation and trauma still affects Indigenous cultures and peoples today.
🍂
I always worry I'm being like a bummer to remind you of this year after year, but I'm on my own journey of education and unlearning the history we were erroneously taught and all the convenient gaps that didn't tell the whole story. We are all unlearning together.
🍂
And while it is important to learn about the heavy history, I also implore you to appreciate and support Indigenous art and cultures. I recently finished reading Son of a Trickster by Eden Robinson and I have many more books by Indigenous authors on my to-read list!
🍂
Enjoy the time with your loved ones (hopefully very safely, and hopefully you've quarantined before seeing each other). It can be hard to deny our families who have varying levels of concern, but know that the precautions you take now show the people you love and the communities we're in how much you care. Virtual celebrations aren't quite the same but are a nice stand-in for being alone.
🍂
Also fyi this is an Instant Pot red curry lentil and potato stew I shared last week. On YouTube and the blog! https://bit.ly/3nCsQWm

I feel like it's no suprise to anyone that my favourite colour is green and that this green ramen is an herbaceous, vibrant way to eat your greens!
💚
PLUS I use peas in the sauce to add some lean, green protein so you don't feel hungry again in 20 minutes like you would if you just ate a pack of instant noodles 😂
💚
Recipe is linked in the bio, although it might take a sec to repopulate but it's also in my Asian recipe highlight (although it's not really Asian... it's just green saucy noods but my regular recipe highlight is getting too long 😅)

Inari pockets with vegan crab salad from my last hiking vlog 🍱🌳🍂 some of y'all might remember that this package of tofu pockets was similar to the package I have bought before and I realized too late that they had clam and oyster extract in the seasoning.
🍁
Because I was going on a hike with a few omnis, I figured it was worth just using it anyway to feed them so it didn't go to waste, and that way Eddie and I didn't have to eat it all on our own. This dilemma can be controversial, and I've had people (well, one persistent person) hate on me for drinking a can of Arizona Iced Tea after I bought it and realized too late that it had honey in it.
🍁
Y'all, being vegan is point blank a privilege. Choosing what to eat, being informed enough to want to choose vegan, having access to fruits and vegetables that don't cost $$$$, having time to cook, having the time to LEARN how to cook, it is all overlapping privileges that enable any of us to eat vegan. Throwing food away because of a mistake you made even though it is perfectly edible is not helping the animals (and it is so wasteful!)
🍂
Obviously in this case, it was just extract and not actually pieces of meat, dairy, or egg, so it was easier for me to eat it without trying to think about it. And honestly, I'm unsure if I would be able to eat anything non-vegan without getting sick (because I got hives after eating the tofu pockets 🙃), but it's nuanced and eating a non-vegan product you bought by accident doesn't make you a bad person. It doesn't discount your veganism. You simply learn from it and keep trucking on.
🍁
Anyway, I explain this in the video but have a watch it you want to see how I made the inari and the beautiful trees on the hike 😁#thevietvegan #thevietveganrecipes https://youtu.be/aBY97WhZCw4 #inarisushi #whatveganseat

I've been eating this nearly every day for the past four days 😂 bánh hỏi thịt nướng chay! I've been meaning to develop a nem nướng chay recipe to go along with this but this week was not the week haha.
🥗
Did anyone else grow up eating platters upon platters of bánh hỏi at long weekend parties and family gatherings? I swear these take up less space in my body than actual noodles because I can always eat an alarming amount 😂
🥗
Check out the new video on YT and the recipe on my blog, swipe up links in my stories!

Dinner last night was a little late, but I feel like bánh hỏi is one of those things you can eat a million of and you won't feel too full 😂
💛
Bánh hỏi is vermicelli noodles and starch in flat layers that are then cut into rectangles and rolled and dressed with a bit of green onion oil. The process used to be so tedious and annoying that I never thought it was worth making (even though I love eating it), but lately I've seen them premade and cut into those rectangles!
💛
There are so many methods: my mom boils them for 1 minute, then strains and then lays them flat to cool. The package said soak for 10 min and then steam for 10 min, but that was such a hassle. One of you suggested using the microwave and I was like oh, DUH that's how I learned to make them in the first place. So I soaked for 10 min, then microwaved for 80 seconds, et voila! They were perfect.
💛
I served them with mở hành, pan-fried soy curls in my thịt nướng marinade (I'll link that recipe in my bio/stories), and with my favourite nước mắm chấm chay! Delicious! I will buy more bánh hỏi this week so I can film a video tutorial for next week!
💛
