Ingredients:

- 150ml freshly squeezed blood orange juice

- 1 zested blood orange (grate if you would like the skin to show more in the tart)

- 470ml full fat coconut milk

- 50g sugar

- 1/2 tsp agar powder

- 3 tbsp corn starch

- 1 tbsp almond milk

- 300g hobnob biscuits

- 115g vegan butter

Instructions:

- Pre-heat the oven to 180C

- Add the biscuits to a food processor and blend until it's a fine crumb.

- Melt the butter in a saucepan. Once melted, add the biscuit crumb to the pan (off the heat) and mix.

- Press the biscuit mixture firmly into a 10x10 tart tin (with a removable bottom) so that the bottom of the tin is covered evenly. Place into the oven for 8 minutes.

- At this Stage the base may have risen slightly. Take a small spoon and push the mixture back into place to leave enough room for the curd. Leave to cool.

- Once the base is completely cool, add the remainder of the ingredients to a saucepan. Bring to a boil for a couple of minutes, stirring constantly. Bring the heat down and continue stirring until the sauce has thickened slightly.

- Pour your thickened blood orange curd into the tart tin and place in the fridge to set for a minimum of 2 hours. 

- Once set, you can decorate with blood oranges, kumquats and and anything else you wish.
