Vegan Pear Custard Tart

Spring is right around the corner and there’s no better recipe to celebrate than this Vegan Pear Custard Tart! It’s light, fruity, and so easy to make.

This Vegan Pear Custard Tart uses a pre-made pie shell and Nature’s Charm coconut custard and oat whipping cream for ease and deliciousness! The custard is lightly flavored with almond extract which perfectly compliments the pears.

I used a pre-baked store bought crust made of walnuts but a graham crust would be just as lovely. Topped with whipped oat cream and a dollop of jam, this tart is the perfect dessert or treat for any time of the day!
