Tarte De Laranja Recipe

Preparation and Baking

1. 1

   Make the Crust

   In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, softened butter, granulated sugar, and salt. Mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

2. 2

   Form the Crust

   Add the egg yolks to the mixture and mix until a dough forms. Press the dough into a 9-inch tart pan evenly across the bottom and up the sides. Prick the bottom with a fork.

3. 3

   Pre-bake the Crust

   Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the crust for about 15 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let cool.

4. 4

   Prepare the Filling

   In a saucepan, whisk together the fresh orange juice, orange zest, granulated sugar (for filling), and cornstarch until smooth. Cook over medium heat until the mixture thickens and starts to bubble.

5. 5

   Combine and Bake

   Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Whisk in the whole eggs until fully incorporated. Pour the filling into the pre-baked crust and bake for an additional 25-30 minutes until the filling is set.

6. 6

   Cool and Serve

   Allow the tart to cool at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving. Garnish with additional orange zest if desired.
