Serves: 8
Ingredients
  • [u]FOR THE VEGAN CRUST:[/u]
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup white whole wheat flour
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar plus 1 teaspoon granulated sugar, divided
  • 1 stick Earth Balance® Vegan Buttery Stick
  • 3 Tbsp Earth Balance® Original Buttery Spread
  • 1/4 cup ice water
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • [u]FOR THE FILLING:[/u]
  • 1lb fresh organic strawberries
  • 2 pomegranates
  • 1 cup blueberries
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 3 tablespoons organic granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • Fresh mint leaves
Instructions
  1. Prepare vegan crust.
  2. Combine both types of flour into a bowl along with 3 tablespoons sugar and salt into a large bowl. Whisk to blend.
  3. Cut the Earth Balance® Vegan Buttery Stick into ½-inch slices. Add the butter to the flour mixture and use your fingers to mix the butter into the flour. Work until mixed, but do not overwork. Some chunks of butter can remain.
  4. Using a fork, stir in ice water. Dough will begin to form. Knead the dough briefly until firm. Take dough out of bowl and place onto baking sheet. Do not roll flat.
  5. Cover dough in plastic wrap, and refrigerate until ready to roll it out.
  6. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  7. Begin to prepare filling by slicing and halving the strawberries. Next, extract the pomegranate seeds. Place both the strawberries and pomegranate seeds into a bowl and sprinkle with sugar, cornstarch and lime juice. Mix so that the fruit is well coated. Set aside.
  8. Take vegan pie crust out of refrigerator. Roll out until flat into a roughly 12-inch circle. Brush a thick layer of melted Earth Balance® Original Buttery Spread to the bottom side of the pie crust. Place the pie crust on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  9. Take mixture of strawberries and pomegranate seeds and spoon them into the center of the dough. Leave about a 1-inch border of uncoated pie crust around the edge.
  10. Fold the uncoated edges of the tart dough in toward the center, partly covering the strawberries.
  11. Sprinkle the top crust around the edges with the remaining 1 teaspoon of sugar.
  12. Bake tart for 20-25 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.
  13. Pull out of the oven and let cool for 10 minutes.
  14. Top with blueberries and mint leaves.
  15. Slice and serve warm.
