Italian fruit tart with custard

This beautiful and delicious fruit tart with lemon custard is a classic Italian pastry recipe everyone loves. You can also prepare the cake dough in advance, freeze it for up to three months, and defrost it when needed.

Torta della nonna without top

The first one is a vegan torta della nonna without the top layer. We like this version, too, as it has less dough and a higher vegan custard-to-dough ratio (and we love custard). Make it as described above, just with half the dough measurements because you don’t need the top layer. The custard and cooking time are the same. The result is a vegan fruit tart with vegan custard that is egg-free, dairy-free, and made with whole grain flour and plenty of fresh seasonal fruit. Check out our fruit tart recipe.
