Instructions
- Melt the dairy-free butter in a mixing bowl and let cool slightly. Combine with dairy-free milk and caster sugar, stirring until mixed. Add active dry yeast and let sit for about 5 minutes.
- In another bowl, mix plain flour with lemon zest. Gradually add the wet mixture to the flour and knead on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth.
- Form into a ball, place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for about an hour until doubled in size.
- For the filling, whisk together lemon juice, coconut cream, caster sugar, cornflour in a saucepan over medium heat until thickened.
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Roll out risen dough into a rectangle, spread lemon curd filling evenly, roll tightly and slice into equal portions.
- Place slices on a parchment-lined baking tray and bake for 25–30 minutes until golden brown. Cool slightly before drizzling with icing.
