1
Prepare the Shortbread Tart Crust.

Warm the jelly in the microwave or a small saucepan, whisking it to thin it out.
-
3
Using a pastry brush, spread the jelly over the bottom of the crust.
-
4
Chill in the refrigerator for 10 minutes to set.

To make the pastry custard, combine 3/4 cup of the coconut milk and Karo syrup in a heavy saucepan.
-
6
Warm over medium-high heat, whisking until it starts to simmer around the edges.
-
7
Remove from the heat.

8
Whisk together the remaining 1/4 cup coconut milk and the cornstarch in a small bowl, stirring until smooth.

Add the sugar, salt, and vanilla.

10
Add the egg replacer and cornstarch mixture to the pan with the coconut milk/Karo mixture and bring to a simmer over medium heat, whisking continuously.

Once the mixture comes to a simmer, cook for 1 minute, stirring; it will thicken quickly.

Fill the shell with the custard mixture.

Coconut milk has a tendency to separate.
