Tips & Tricks
Be sure to give the coconut cream enough time to chill down- it's the only way it'll whip into the texture you want for your topping.
And don't hesitate to change up the berries for other seasonal fruits like pineapple, kiwi, and mango. They all work perfectly!
We used this vegan gluten free pie crust to pair with this tart. It blends perfectly with the lemon and coconut cream flavors. But you can use a store bought pie crust if you prefer.
