Sable Cookie

Pistachio Cream

Kaymak

Berry Compote

Fresh Berries

Method

  1. 1

    In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg yolk, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until well combined.

  2. 2

    Gradually add the all-purpose flour to the mixture, mixing until the dough comes together.

  3. 3

    Shape the dough into a disc, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

  4. 4

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/4 inch thick. Cut into desired shapes and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until lightly golden.

Pistachio Cream

  1. 5

    Prepare Pistachios

    Soak the raw pistachios in water for at least 2 hours. Drain and blend into a smooth paste.

  2. 6

    Make Cream

    In a mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Whip until soft peaks form.

  3. 7

    Combine Ingredients

    Gently fold the pistachio paste into the whipped cream until well blended. Refrigerate until ready to use.

Kaymak

  1. 8

    Combine Ingredients

    In a bowl, mix together the heavy cream and yogurt until smooth.

  2. 9

    Chill Kaymak

    Cover and refrigerate for a minimum of 4 hours or overnight to allow flavors to meld.

Berry Compote

  1. 10

    Cook Berries

    In a saucepan, combine the mixed berries, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat until the berries soften and the mixture thickens slightly, about 10 minutes.

  2. 11

    Cool Compote

    Remove from heat and let cool before using.

Assembly

  1. 12

    Layer the Tart

    On a cooled sable cookie base, spread a generous layer of pistachio cream. Top with a dollop of kaymak and a spoonful of berry compote.

  2. 13

    Garnish

    Finish by garnishing the tart with fresh berries.
