Greetings my Friends,
It's been a while since I joined Qurator's: Hive Top Chef but I cannot miss Traditional Desserts, because that is the right chalenge for me. I love making desserts, especially traditional and veganizing them!
Today I have for you RHUBARB TART is based on a very traditional French Tart recipe. They are so many ways tarts can be made, but I created my own crust recipe. It is delicious, crunchy, but also healthy, vegan and, gluten free. It can be filled with custard or cashew cream and in this case with strawberries and rhubarb.
