Ingredients
For The Base:
65g Myprotein Organic Coconut Sugar
20g Ground Almond
1 scoop (25g) Myprotein Impact Whey Matcha Flavour
150g Myprotein Organic Buckwheat Flour
65g Unsalted Butter Or Coconut Oil
1 Large Egg
For The Yuzu Tart Filling:
200ml Yuzu Juice
Grated Zest Of 2 Limes
100g Myprotein Organic Coconut Sugar
1 tbsp Cornflour
4 Large Eggs
50g Myprotein Coconpure Coconut Oil
1 scoop (25g) Myprotein Impact Whey Matcha Flavour
Method
#1 Combine the flour, ground almond and sugar in a large mixing bowl
#2 Add the butter and work it with your hands to make a crumbly mixture
#3 Break in the egg and work the mixture with your hands until it resembles a dough texture
#4 Roll the dough into a ball and flatten it a little to make a disk, then place it in the fridge for 30 minutes
#5 Whilst the base is in the fridge, make your tart filling. Whisk all the tart filling ingredients in a mixing bowl except the lime zest until completely combined, then sieve the mixture into another bowl and add the lime zest. Set aside for a moment.
#6 Back to the base: After the 30 minutes is up, roll out the dough to thickness of a £1 coin, then place it into an 8” x 2” tart tin, poke fork holes in bottom, then pop it back into the fridge for another 30 minutes
#7 When the 30 minutes is nearly up, preheat the oven to 160?C or for fan-assisted to 140?C
#8 When your base is ready to come out, chop off the edges that hang over the tart tin, then place some greaseproof paper over the tart and fill it with something weighty and dry like baking beans (or rice/dried peas/lentils)
#9 Place the base into the oven for 10 minutes with the beans then a further 20 without
#10 Remove the base from the oven, then pour in your tart mixture and bake for another 30 minutes until set, allow to cool and enjoy!
