My filling was not dark at all like the photos… more like a very light tan color. I’m not sure why as I followed the directions exactly, but they tasted great anyways!

Thank you so much for sharing this! A lighter filling can happen depending on the brand of sugar, maple syrup, and even the type of vegan butter used, some just caramelize deeper than others. As long as they tasted great, you did everything right! If you’d like a darker colour next time, you can swap the light brown sugar for dark brown sugar. It’ll give the filling a deeper amber tone and a slightly richer, more molasses-forward flavour. Totally optional, though, the recipe works well either way :)

Would love to make this, but can’t find vegan whipping cream. Would either coconut milk (solid portion) or some blended silken tofu (maybe with a splash of plant based milk for thinning) be a good substitute?

Hey Michelle, ooo, it’s a little hard to say for sure without testing it ourselves! The solid part of canned coconut milk could work well and give a creamy texture, though it will add a coconut flavour if you’re okay with that. The blended tofu option I'd be less confident about. We’d love to hear how it goes if you experiment with any of these swaps 🤗✨

Wow! The taste is so good. Only the dough needed to be little bit longer in the oven then recommended.

So delicious! My filling only darkened slightly. It looked nothing like the photos. Any idea why? It was still delicious, nonetheless!

this is by far my favourite recipe on the app, the taste is unbelievable and it's so easy! it's not too sweet but super flavourful. the pecans pair perfectly with the filling but it's also delicious (and cheaper) with walnuts

This made our day, Kristina, thank you! We’re so glad you loved the tarts and found a way to make it your own with walnuts 🥰
