Another classic dessert. Custard tarts are relatively easy to make, it's the gluten free shortcrust pastry that cakes the most effort to perfect. These are filled with silky smooth custard made with soya milk to make them fabulously dairy free. You can make this as one large custard tart or as small ones as we have done.
