- 400 grams frozen raspberries

Instructions
To Make The Pie Crust
- Grease a rectangle tart pan with vegetable oil and preheat your oven to 230C/446F
- Have all crust ingredients in the fridge cold including your mixing bowl
- Using a food processor, pulse flour, sugar and salt together to combine, then add shortening and pulse together until very crumbly and fine
- Pour in cold water and pulse together until it starts to form a dough
- Empty pastry into your chilled glass bowl and using your hands knead together into a smooth dough ball
- Tip dough onto a floured surface and roll out to 5cm thick in a long rectangle shape that’s longer than your tart pan
- Add to your greased pie tin, trim the edges and pierce the bottom of the pastry with a fork multiple times
- Roll remaining dough into a ball and roll out to 5cm thick and cut out small heart shapes with a cookie cutter and place on a separate greased tray
- Blind bake your tart without filling and extra shapes, bake for 20 minutes, then remove beads and bake for 5-10 more minutes until the crust is lightly browned
- Remove from oven and fill with raspberry filling, pushing hearts into the tart and leave to set for 10 minutes. Serve with vegan ice-cream
To Make The Filling
- Add all ingredients except for cornflour mix to a large pot and bring to a simmer
- Gently simmer on a lower heat for 5-10 mins until it’s lost about 1/3 of its original liquid, then vigorously stir through cornflour until it thickens
- Once the filling has thickened, remove from heat and pour into your baked tart crust
