Sunday Brunch: Strawberry-Cherry Custard Tarts

INGREDIENTS (Shell, from How it all Vegan):
3 cup Graham Crumbs
6 tbsp Water
5 tbsp Oil
dash Salt

INGREDIENTS (filling):
4-5 Strawberries
4-5 Cherries, pitted
1 cup Soy Milk
3ish tbsp Custard Powder
1-2 tbsp Sugar (to taste)

Combine shell ingredients and press into muffin papers, creating a thin cup shape. Bake at 350F until very lightly browned. Remove and let cool.

In a blender, combine strawberries, cherries and soy milk until smooth. Over medium heat, combine custard powder and sugar, adding soy milk mixture gradually. Stir frequently until it becomes thick, remove from heat. Once it thickens slightly, fill the cooled graham cups up until almost spilling over. Refrigerate until custard thickens up (overnight is best).

Recipe - Sorbet

I decided to try my hand at making my own sorbet, since Baskin Robbins only has one flavour I can have.

The two I made were Blueberry Peach and Strawberry Cherry.

Blueberry Peach:

1 1/4 - 1 1/2 cups Peaches (roughly 5 medium peaches)
1 1/4 - 1 1/2 cups Blueberries (use 1 1/2 cups for the flavour you want stronger)
1 cup sugar
1 cup water
1 1/2 tbsp Mango or Citrus juice

Boil peaches in water to loosen skin; peel and slice (freestone peaches are easier for this.) Process cut peaches and blueberries in a blender or food processor with juice.

In a pot, bring sugar and water to a boil over medium-high and reduce to roughly 1 1/4 cup of syrup. Add together blended fruit and syrup and freeze in a large ceramic dish (the larger it is, faster/more even it will freeze.)

When it is frozen but still soft-ish (1 1/2 hrs or so), take it out and spoon into blender or food processor and blend until smooth. Pour into freezer safe container and freeze. When frozen, take it out and enjoy! Best if let sit for a minute or so to soften before scooping.

Strawberry Cherry

1 1/2 cups Strawberry (stems removed)
1 1/4 cups Cherries (pits and stems removed...I left skins on, it's much easier)
1 cup sugar
1 cup water
1 1/2 tbsp Mango or Citrus juice

Use same process!
