Vegan Raspberry Bakewell Tart (Gluten Free) | Rebel Recipes (2)

La De Da! Well, have I got a delicious recipe for you?

A nutty base, the most gorgeous gooey almond filing, fresh tart raspberries and a layer of raspberry jam.

Oh, my goodness, it’s good.

What memories does this recipe conjure up for me? Little Mr Kipling Bakewell tarts, which I used to wolf down given the chance when I was little. I’m not sure they were very healthy but i remember and love their almondy deliciousness.

In fact, I’m sure they started my love for frangipane and all almond based desserts–no bad thing I think 😉

My version is just as rich and almondy but happily it’s homemade with natural whole ingredients and refined sugar free. I tested this recipe out on lots of my friends (willing victims)–a very big thumbs up all round!

I hope you enjoy xx

  1. Hi Niki,

    Would you recommend using coconut oil for the tart base, and also thawed frozen raspberries for the filling? Thanks!

    Reply

    1. Hi Kathleen
      I think that coconut oil should be ok for the base but I wouldn’t recommend using thawed frozen raspberries as I fear there would be too much moisture.

  6. This recipe looks amazing!

    Do you think I could make it with strawberries (I have a huge basket full right now and want to make a cake with them) or would the texture get weird? Maybe if I add them on top after baking the filling?

    Also how big is your pie pan?

    1. Hi Franny
      I think that strawberries would be lovely, I’d just chop them up a little.
