No Sugar Added Blueberry Tart

Ingredients

  • 1 cup frozen blueberries
  • 1 tablespoon small couscous
  • Pie crust:
  • 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup coconut oil chilled to a solid
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ⅓ - ½ cup ice water

Instructions

  • Prepare a clean, dry and lightly floured surface.  Measure out all of the flour and salt; quickly mix together with a wire whisk.
  • Then add in small pieces of the cold-to-almost-frozen coconut oil.  As you knead the dough your hands will warm the oil and soften in so you’ll want to work quickly.
  • Add the ice cold water and carefully work the dough just enough to combine all of the so they will stick together when you squeeze a fist full. If needed add a little more coconut oil or flour.
  • Dust the surface with flour again and starts to roll it out.
  • These rustic little tarts will have more personality with rough edges so do not worry about the exact shapes or edges.
  • You’ll want rolled out pieces just large enough to fit the mini tart pan and then fold back over the edges and a bit of the top of the frozen blueberries.
  • When all of your tart pans are prepared fill with the frozen blueberries.  Right out of the bag is perfect and saves on cleanup.
  • Sprinkle each with a tablespoon of couscous, this will help absorb some of the blueberry juice as the tart bakes and gives it a fuller texture.
  • Bake at 375 degrees F for about 20 minutes or until the crust has started to lightly brown.
  • Ovens tend to cook differently so keep an eye on it as you approach the 55 minute mark, more or less time might be needed.
  • Let rest for about 10 minutes before serving.
