Updated: Oct 16, 2020


The recipe for making an easy vegan pie crust is ideal to make small tart shells too. To use for our mini onion tarts, our vegetable tarts and even for sweet dessert bites. The trick is to use a muffin pan or cupcake pan upside down.

Here is the recipe to make 6 tart shells.

  • Transport the dough and drape each circle over the back of the cupcake pan

  • Press the dough down around the shape of the upside down cupcake

  • Poke some holes on the dough with a fork

  • Pre-bake for 10-15 minutes if you want to use it to make a baked pie or quiche.

  • If you want to bake the crust for a cold filling (vegetable tart, pudding or fruit), you can bake the crust for 40-45 minutes until golden brown
