A discussion of recent search trends
A look at Google search trends reveals that certain keywords can be indirectly linked to sweets and food culture amidst a variety of topics. For example, the fact that the anime/manga “Hataraku Cell” ranks high in the list suggests a growing awareness of health and body. This can be interpreted as a growing interest in sweets that are not only delicious, but also nutritious and gentle on the body. In addition, the trend toward natural phenomena such as “snow moon” may suggest a psychology of seeking visual appeal and narrative, such as sweets that express a sense of the season or a beautiful scene, or luxurious homemade sweets for special occasions. Furthermore, while personal names and social topics dominate the top of the list, it can also be considered that the need for a little comfort from daily life and a sense of the extraordinary is sublimated in the form of handmade sweets. In particular, a deeper look into search genres such as “confectionery and baking ingredients,” “dried fruits,” and “nuts” reveals a willingness to try making authentic sweets at home easily, rather than simply purchasing ready-made products. Combining these elements, it can be predicted that homemade sweets that are health-conscious, yet visually appealing and express the changing seasons will be a trend to watch in the future.

way of making
- Now, let’s start making a tart that will bring spring! Start with the tart dough. Place oatmeal, rice flour, cane sugar, and salt in a food processor and stir until smooth.
- Then add the melted coconut oil and stir further. When the dough becomes a lumpy, sloppy mixture, add the soy milk, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together. The dough should be firm to the touch and hold together when squeezed.This is the secret to good taste!Add the soy milk a little at a time and adjust as you see fit for the dough.
- Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let rest in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. During this time, prepare the custard-like cream. Soak the cashews in water overnight and drain well in a colander.
- Place drained cashews, lemon juice, maple syrup, coconut milk supernatant, and vanilla extract in a food processor and stir thoroughly until smooth.This is the emotional climax! The secret to a melt-in-your-mouth texture is to mix the cream with a spatula several times during the process, dropping the cream from the sides until it becomes a completely smooth paste.
- Remove the rested tart dough from the refrigerator and roll it out on a lightly floured surface (e.g., rice flour) to a round shape one size larger than the tart mold. The thickness of the dough should be about 3 mm. Lift it gently and place it in the tart tin. Poke a few holes in the bottom with a fork.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for 20 minutes. When browned, remove and allow to cool completely. The aroma of fragrant oatmeal will fill your kitchen and stimulate your appetite.
- When the tart dough has cooled, pour the lemon custard-like cream made in step (4) generously over the dough and flatten the surface. Use a spoon or palette knife for a beautiful finish.
- Lightly rinse the pickled cherry blossoms in water to remove the salt, then pat dry thoroughly with kitchen paper. Sprinkle this on top of the cream. The pale pink color of the cream is a beautiful accent that heralds the arrival of spring.
- Finally, sprinkle with grated lemon zest and chopped pistachios! Refrigerate for 30 minutes to an hour to allow the cream to firm up and become more delicious. The tart is as beautiful as a snow moon and is a breath of spring!
- Now, after chilling and hardening, it is time to eat. One bite will fill your mouth with the crispy tart dough, refreshing lemon custard, and a hint of cherry blossom flavor, filling your whole body with the joy of spring.
point
The key to this tart is the contrast between the crispy vegan tart dough made with oatmeal and rice flour and the amazingly smooth lemon custard-like cream made with cashews. The tart dough is made with a small amount of soy milk, which makes it easier to hold together and less likely to fall apart when baked. The cashew nut cream is patiently stirred in a food processor to create a melt-in-your-mouth texture. The salted cherry blossoms, by being thoroughly desalted, have a moderate saltiness that enhances the sweetness and adds depth to the flavor. It also looks gorgeous, making it perfect for entertaining. Try this special dish and feel the arrival of spring with your eyes and tongue!
