Ingredients

Raspberry Chia Seed Jam

  • 2 cup fresh raspberry
  • 2 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 2 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice , or to taste
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon powder

Tart Shells

  • cup unsalted butter , softened
  • 2 tablespoon sweetener
  • 1 egg yolk , room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup spelt flour

Instructions

Raspberry Chia Seed Jam

  • Cook raspberries in a pan on medium heat for a few minutes until they soften and break down. Press with the back of a spoon to help the process.
  • Remove from the stove and add the rest of the ingredients. Mix well and pour into a jar. Leave to cool, cover with a lid and keep in the fridge.

Tart Shells

  • Add butter and sweetener into a bowl. Using a spatula, mix everything together. Now add the egg yolk and vanilla extract. Continue mixing. Finally, add flour and bring everything together into a dough.
  • Cover with cling film and chill in the fridge for 30 minutes or until it's manageable.
  • Take a piece of dough and press it evenly into a 2.5-inch (6.5 cm) tart mould. Cut off excess dough with a knife. Using a fork, prick the base so that it doesn't puff up while baking. Repeat the same with the rest of the dough. Place them on a baking tray. Place them in the freezer for 10 minutes.

Bake

  • Spoon some jam into the tart shells until ¾ full. Bake in a preheated oven at 350ºF (175ºC) using the conventional mode, on a lower ⅔ rack for 25 minutes or until the shells are golden.
  • Remove from the oven, and leave to cool for 10 minutes. Flip and tap the bottom of the tart moulds to release the tarts. Cool completely on a rack. Chill in the fridge for a few hours before serving (that's how I like them!)

Notes

The tarts are a bit fragile when they're hot, so handle them gently.
