Ingredients
  

CRUST:

  • 1/2 cup brown rice flour
  • ¼ cup buckwheat flour
  • ¼ tsp. fine salt
  • 2 tbsp. coconut oil cold
  • 2 tbsp. maple syrup
  • 1 ½ tbsp. cold water

VEGAN CUSTARD*

  • 1 cup almond milk
  • 1 ½ tbsp. cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp rice flour
  • 1 tbsp. agave syrup or maple syrup
  • Beans from half a vanilla pod or 1 tsp. vanilla extract

OTHER

  • 40 g. dark chocolate preferably sugar free
  • 0.25 kg. 8oz. strawberries

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 200°C / 390°F.
  • CRUST: In a medium bowl mix together rice flour, buckwheat flour and salt. Using your fingers or a fork crumble in the coconut oil until there are no lumps bigger than a pea. Add in the maple syrup. Stir in cold water until a dough forms. Press the dough out into a small spring form. Bake for approx. 15 minutes - or until the crust is golden brown. Let cool completely - eventually in the fridge.
  • CUSTARD: Meanwhile make the custard. Mix everything together in a small pot. Whisk until there are absolutely no lumps of flour or starch left. Warm up the custard over medium-high heat whisking constantly. Once it begins to boil whisk even more vigorously - take it off the heat as soon as it begins to thicken. Pour out onto a plate and let it cool completely.
  • Once the crust is cold, chop the chocolate and melt it over a water bath. Pour into the crust and swirl it around until it covers the entire crust (or use a brush).
  • When the chocolate has hardened pour the custard into the crust. Half the strawberries and place them close to each other on the custard.
  • Serve right away or store covered in the fridge for up to a day.
