Pistachio Tart Recipe

Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Tart Crust

   In a medium bowl, combine flour, sugar, and salt. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in water, a tablespoon at a time, until the dough forms a ball. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

2. 2

   Bake the Tart Shell

   Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface and fit it into a 9-inch tart pan. Prick the bottom with a fork and bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden. Let cool.

3. 3

   Make the Pistachio Filling

   In a food processor, blend the pistachios until finely ground. In a bowl, combine ground pistachios, sugar, butter, eggs, cream, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth.

4. 4

   Fill and Bake

   Pour the pistachio mixture into the cooled tart shell and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until set. The filling should be slightly firm to the touch.

5. 5

   Cool and Serve

   Let the tart cool completely before slicing. Serve as is or with a dollop of whipped cream.
