Pumpkin Tart

Ingredients

(serves 16-20)

For the crust
50g coconut oil (melted)
30g maple syrup
1/2 tbsp pure vanilla extract
150g pumpkin puree
dash of salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon
115g Vanilla Huel Powder (add more if too wet)
For the filling
300g pumpkin puree
200g coconut oil (very soft or liquified but not hot)
50g cocoa powder
20g maple syrup
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
dash of salt
1 tsp cinnamon
pinch of cloves
pinch of allspice
pinch of nutmeg
For the spiderweb
4 tbsp icing sugar
1 tbsp water

Instructions

Pre-heat oven to 180C, grease a tart tin and set aside.
Place coconut oil, maple syrup, vanilla, pumpkin puree, salt, and cinnamon in a mixing bowl and use a hand blender to blend the mixture into a smooth consistency. Add Huel and mix well using a wooden spoon until everything is thoroughly combined.
Scoop out the mixture into the pan. Use your hands to press the mixture down along the bottom and up around the walls of the pan forming the crust. Use a fork to pierce some holes along the base of the crust to prevent bubbling during baking. Bake in the pre-heated oven for 20 minutes. Remove from oven and allow the crust to cool in the pan on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes.
In the meantime, place all filling ingredients into a blender and process until mixture is smooth. Once the tart shell has cooled, pour this mixture into the tart and smooth out the top with a spatula.
Mix the spiderweb mixture ingredients together until fully smooth. Note: start with just 1 tbsp water and increase the quantity only if necessary so that the mixture is runny enough but not too thin.
Pour the icing into a piping bag and pour onto the top of the tart in a spiral pattern (see below), starting in the centre of the tart and drawing the spiral rings out until you reach the edges. Then use a wooden skewer and draw a line from the centre of the tart to the outer edge. Repeat this going all around the tart until you’ve created a spiderweb.
Chill tart in the fridge for at least 2-3 hours and then enjoy!
