Ingredients
Scale
- 230 g unsalted butter
- 40 g almond flour
- 140 g icing sugar
- 2 pieces eggs
- 420 g flour
- 50 g pistachio flour
- 350 g milk
- 40 g whipping cream
- 80 g egg yolks
- 60 g sugar
- 20 g cornstarch
- 20 g flour
- 120 g butter
- 50 g pistachio praline
- 200 g pitted cherries
- 10 g sugar
- 3 g pectin
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 50 g butter
- 50 g icing sugar
- 1 piece egg
- fresh cherries
- 10 g sugar (optional)
Instructions
- In a saucepan, blend pitted cherries and sugar. Cook on medium heat for 3-5 minutes until softened. Mix pectin with 10 g of sugar to prevent lumps, stir in, and then add lemon juice. Cook for an additional 2 minutes. Chill in the refrigerator.
- Heat milk and cream in a saucepan until boiling. In a bowl, whisk egg yolks with sugar, cornstarch, and flour. Mix in 1/3 of the hot milk, then return to pot with remaining milk. Whisk continuously for 2 minutes until thickened. Stir in butter and pistachio praline, then blend until smooth. Chill for at least 2 hours.
- In a stand mixer, whisk almond flour, butter, icing sugar, and salt together at low speed. Add eggs one at a time till mixed, then gradually add flour to form a clumpy dough. Smooth by hand, cover, and rest in the fridge for 2 hours.
- Roll out the larger portion of the dough to 2-3 mm thick. Cut to fit your tart ring and line with parchment. Roll the remaining dough to line the edges. Poke with a fork and bake at 340°F (170°C) for 20 minutes until lightly browned.
- In a bowl, beat room temperature butter with sugar and pistachio flour. Slowly mix in the beaten egg until smooth. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
- Remove the tart from its ring, fill with pistachio cream sponge halfway, and bake for 10 more minutes. Let it cool for at least 30 minutes.
- Spread a thin layer of cherry confit over the cooled pistachio cream sponge, and generously dollop the chilled pistachio pastry cream on top. Garnish with fresh cherries for a beautiful finish.
