Cornflake Tart

Here’s how to make it…

Ingredients:

  • 300g shortcrust pastry
  • 300g cornflakes
  • 200g golden syrup
  • 100g golden caster sugar
  • 100g dairy free butter
  • 6 tbsp raspberry jam
  • A drizzle of sunflower oil

Method:

  • Begin by preheating the oven to 200 degrees (gas mark 6)
  • Grease a 25 x 25cm flan tin with a little sunflower oil and set to one side
  • Using a rolling pin, roll out the shortcrust pastry to create a square slightly larger than the flan tin
  • Line the flan tin with the pastry
  • Using a fork, prick the base of the pastry in several places. Remove any excess pastry
  • Lay a sheet of baking paper on top of the pastry and weigh it down with ceramic baking beans or rice
  • Put the flan tin in the pre-heated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until crispy
  • Remove the flan tin from the oven and set to one side. While the pastry cools, prepare the cornflake mixture
  • Add the cornflakes to a large bowl and set to one side
  • Add golden syrup, golden caster sugar and dairy free butter to a pan. Stir to combine then simmer on a medium heat until the sugar has dissolved and the butter has melted
  • Add the golden syrup, sugar and butter to the cornflakes then stir to combine
  • Spread the raspberry jam evenly across the base of the pastry then pour the cornflake mixture on top
  • Put the tart in the fridge and allow to set. This will take around 2 hours

Most cornflakes aren’t suitable for vegans as they are fortified with Vitamin D, typically derived from lanolin. There are organic and health-focused brands who don’t fortify their cereals.
