Ingredients
  • 2 medium pears, peeled and thin-medium sliced
  • store-bought pie crust (pre-baked)
  • 1 cans Nature’s Charm Coconut Custard
  • ¼ cup tapioca flour
  • 3 tbsp + 2 tsp maple syrup or agave, divided
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract, divided
  • 1 tbsp almond extract
  • ⅛ tsp salt
  • 1 can Nature’s Charm Oat Whipping Cream, chilled overnight
  • For Serving
  • 3 tbsp strawberry jam (optional)
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 375 F. Gently place the pie crust in a pie pan. Slice the pears into medium thin pieces. Arrange them in the pie crust.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine the coconut custard, 3 tbsp syrup, tapioca flour, almond extract, 2 tsp vanilla extract, and salt. Mix well. Heat in saucepan over medium, stirring as the the mixture heats up. Keep stirring constantly for 2 minutes, until the mixture begins to thicken.
  3. With a rubber spatula, transfer the custard mixture over the pears. Smooth the custard into an even layer. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the center is set.
  4. Let cool to room temperature, then chill in the fridge to set for 3 hours. In a large bowl, whip the chilled oat cream, 1 tbsp syrup, and 1 tsp vanilla until fluffy, about 3 minutes.
  5. Spread or pipe the whipped oat cream over the custard tart. Slice and serve with a dollop of jam.
