ALMOND CUSTARD TART WITH STRAWBERRIES
We love how balanced this tart is-the custard filling has a subtle almond flavor, isn't overly sweet, and pairs beautifully with the crunchy oat crust. It makes an excellent healthy Easter dessert and is dairy-free to boot.

Steps:
- Blend the cornstarch with a little of the milk. Add the remaining milk.
- Add the egg and cream, whisk well.
- Pour the mixture into a small saucepan and stir constantly over a low heat until the custard thicks. DO NOT BOIL as your mixture may curdle.
- Alternately, instead of the saucepan mixture-you can use the micro-wave. Use medium low heat and stir at 1 minute intervals until the custard thickens.
- Stir in the ground almonds, vanilla and sugar.
- Serve warm or cold as desired.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will result in a better-tasting custard. Use the best almonds you can find, and make sure your milk and cream are fresh.
- Don't overcook the custard: Overcooked custard will be thick and rubbery. Cook it just until it has thickened slightly and coats the back of a spoon.
- Let the custard cool completely: Custard needs to cool completely before it can be used. This will allow it to set and thicken properly.
- Use the right amount of almond extract: A little almond extract goes a long way. Use too much and the custard will taste artificial.
- Be patient: Making custard takes time and patience. Don't rush the process.
