Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup vegan margarine
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons ice cold water
- 1 can full fat coconut milk
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons agar-agar powder

Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C).
- In a medium bowl, mix together the vegan margarine, flour, sugar and salt until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Slowly add the ice cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together. Press the dough into a 9-inch tart pan and bake for 20 minutes.
