Vegan charlotte
8 servings
60 minutes
Vegan charlotte is a delicate, aromatic pie inspired by classic European baking but adapted for those following a plant-based diet. Instead of eggs and dairy, simple ingredients are used to create an airy texture and rich flavor. Lemon juice adds a light tang to the dough, while cinnamon and ginger provide subtle spicy notes. The main feature of this pie is the juicy cherry filling that fills each slice with fruity freshness. Baked to a golden crust, the charlotte makes an excellent treat for tea or coffee, perfect for cozy family evenings or friendly gatherings. The simplicity of preparation makes this recipe accessible even for beginner cooks.
