Colorful and delicious tart with fruits and coconut cream is a winning combination that will convince you with its refreshing taste and beautiful appearance.

In the summertime, when it’s really hot and humid outside, refreshing fruit desserts are perfect! One of our favorites is a delicious and refreshing pie with shortcrust pastry, juicy coconut cream, fruit and jelly topping. There is plentiful fruits at this time of year, so you can choose your favourite ones. You can use just one type of fruit or several different ones to create even more interesting flavours and look. Your family and guests will surely love the pie, just like ours, because the pie was gone in the same moment we’ve put it on the table!

The jelly topping made out of agar agar is what creates a wonderful glaze like appearance, which also ensures that the fruit on the pie is well preserved. Agar agar is a gelling agent based on seaweed and does not affect the taste, color and smell of food. Just 2 g of agar agar can replace 6 sheets of gelatine.
