Rhubarb Tart – vegan & gluten-free

This post is also available in: English Français

On the menu today? A tangy and creamy Rhubarb Tart topped with a deliciously crunchy almond crumble. Dairy-free and gluten-free for everyone to enjoy 😊

With the days getting longer and warmer, I tend to make healthier choices when it comes to filling my cravings. I would ditch the hot chocolate (half filled with coconut whipped cream I confess!) for a smoothie instead, and even though I could have a piece (or three) of cakes anytime of the year, day (and night) no matter how warm it is outside, I would swap it for a juicy and crunchy apple instead … no, just kidding! Although I do like apples they still can’t beat a piece of cake, because let’s be frank if they were as satisfying and comforting then I would not have to bother with my daily routine of exercises anymore! 😊

 Anyway, I do swap the cake and opt for a piece of fruity tart instead, not an apple tart though 😊 but a tangy and creamy ‘Tarte à la Rhubarbe’ (Rhubarb Tart), topped with a crunchy almond crumble and paired with a delicious coconut whipped cream. Going an inch lighter does not have to be boring, does it?

This recipe is perfect when you don’t have much time to spend in the kitchen. If you are not a fan of rhubarb you can change for any other fruits such as strawberries or raspberries.

Recipe Notes

* you can swap the coconut cream for soya cream instead, although coconut cream and rhubarb are a great match!
