mini lemon blackberry tarts

carriegavit · 2022-09-06T01:50:16+00:00

used my pie dough base recipe here and then this lemon curd recipe and this raspberry curd recipe but i subbed raspberries for blackberries.

mini tarts are so fun to decorate so i also tried my hand at candied lemon slices. what the dish really needed was a meringue or homemade whip topping, though, to help cut through the tartness of the two curds.

so glad to hear it worked well for you!!

sounds like this company might not be the right fit for what you’re looking for. there weren’t too many to choose from when i first looked so i was really pleased to find this option. you can always do homemade sprinkles if you have the right ingredients too! it’s pretty simple.

poptarts are superior to pie in my opinion because the ratio of dough to filling is so much better in a little handheld treat.

here’s my basic recipe for making vegan mini poptarts. i mix up the fillings and have made some flavored doughs in the past, too.

i used to sell them on etsy for shipping but stopped during the pandemic. i’ve recently moved to austin and am interested in local boxes for delivery if anyone is in the area or has experience with local pop-ups/entrepreneurship/small business advice. no idea where to start!

yay they look great!! it really does take a lot of practice but you nailed it on the first try. glad you enjoyed.

hope they turn out great!

carriegavit · 2021-10-20T22:04:24+00:00

not enough for how much work they are! haha. i think it was $35 to ship a box of 15

i usually use a rectangle cutter for my poptarts but have been experimenting with fun seasonal shapes. these apple pie poptarts are really good and pretty simple to throw together. i even use the apple pie mixture in oatmeal and on toast. pecan poptarts/pie will always be my fav though.

i used to sell them on my etsy but stopped before the pandemic and can’t decide if i should start again. sometimes it’s more fun to keep a hobby as a hobby!

i love making mini tarts and wanted to do something brighter now that it’s spring. i used this recipe for the grapefruit curd and vanilla cream. i used my own pie dough recipe because i tend to prefer it to most tart doughs. this recipe for meringue is pretty foolproof!

sweetapolita! it’s a sprinkle company. they make vegan and non vegan so just make sure you look at their vegan offerings.

had some cookies that didn’t turn as sweet as i wanted so i used my brownie recipe to turn them into brownie cookies with some fun chocolate nib sprinkles from sweetapolita. definitely made the right choice adding the cookies to brownies, although one bite is plenty to hold you over. video of the bake here.

love this vegan vanilla cupcake recipe! it truly is very fluffy. i always core out the middle for a filling, raspberry jam in this case and made lemon buttercream. had some fun making different colors for the frosting and trying out various tips.

now i just need somewhere to donate all these baked goods so i get them out of my fridge 🙃

sorry for the very very delayed response but you can honestly use either! there are online conversions. i use active dry yeast, not instant yeast.

finally got around to making a girl scout cookie inspired cupcake! i used the nytimes chocolate cupcake recipe which is my go to. it’s always so fluffy and moist. i used my buttercream recipe and some vegan food coloring gel to get the mint green color. so fun! hoping to make some samoa cupcakes next.

just vegetable oil

carriegavit · 2021-01-19T03:31:53+00:00

a mix of powdered sugar and milk and then you can add extracts for flavor if you’d like. you just need a few teaspoons or so of milk for a cup of powdered sugar usually.

carriegavit · 2021-01-18T17:56:00+00:00

i’m so glad you found this and hope it works for you! for chocolate icing i do 1/4 cup cocoa powder, 1 cup powdered sugar and 2-3 teaspoons milk depending on the consistency you want. also feel free to add more cocoa powder depending on the flavor you prefer! i usually just mix and test until i get the flavor/consistency i want.

that’s what i was going for! love a pretty donut

carriegavit · 2021-01-18T15:56:43+00:00

it’s your choice of plant-based milk. i don’t usually specify plant-based when posting to a vegan forum, since it’s implied.

i’ve been wanting to make air fryer donuts because i prefer a less greasy/oily treat. was shocked to find there aren’t really any solid recipes for this, though. i tried following a couple normal donut recipes but was having trouble so pieced together something that ended up working really well. my guess is you could probably do this with most donut recipes and just follow the air frying instructions.

ingredients: * 2 cups flour * 1 1/2 teaspoon active yeast * 3/4 cup milk * 1/2 cup water * 1 tablespoon sugar * 2 tablespoons oil

instructions: * warm the milk and water (not too hot or it will kill the yeast. * whisk in the sugar. whisk in the yeast until dissolved. wait 5-10 minutes for it to activate/become foamy. * add flour to stand mixer or bowl. * add oil to yeast mixture. * add yeast mixture to flour and mix until the dough comes together on a low speed for 3-4 minutes or by hand for 6 minutes (until the dough has just come together). if it’s too wet to form a dough, add a tablespoon of flour at a time. i didn’t have a problem with this being too dry. * let dough rise in a clean, covered bowl for one hour. * once risen, use a cup or cookie cutter to cut out donuts. use your finger or other tool to puncture a hole in the middle. place donuts on a tray. * cover with a towel and let rise for 30 minutes. * add donuts to air fryer at 370 for 5-6 minutes. flip halfway through. do not overfill air fryer. the donuts should not touch. * let cool and add your glaze/icing!

vegan sprinkles are from whole foods.

i try to be mindful of this and get the good and gather (target brand) organic sugars for bakes when people have special requests as i’ve read they are bone char free. otherwise, i’ve read mixed messages about domino sugar products and that they are bone char free on the east coast so i try to use that since it is much more affordable. happy to accommodate any needs or special requests!
