Choco-Pistachio Tart

Choco-Pistachio Tart

At home, pistachio is the go-to flavor for any sweet treats, and this week’s recipe didn’t disappoint. I’ve been experimenting with almond, rice, and coconut flour in different pie and tart recipes, and this chocolate pistachio tart was a big hit with my family.

While ganache isn’t usually my go-to topping, my husband always requests it, so I decided to give it a try. I struggled to get it shiny and smooth, but in the end, the combination of flavors was just too good to resist. Check out the recipe and see for yourself how delicious this tart can be!

Preparation & Cooking time: 120 minutes

Ingredients

1 1/2 Cup of Almond Flour
1 Cup of Rice Flour
1 Cup of Coconut Flour
2 Tbs of Tapioca Flour
3/4 Cup of Sugar
1/4 Cup of Coconut Oil
1/4 Cup of Water
4oz of Salted Butter
4 Tsp of Heraia Pistachio Spread
2 Large Eggs
4oz of Chocolate
1/2 Cup of Heavy Cream
Vanilla Extract

The recipe

1. Begin by mixing 1 cup each of almond flour, rice flour, and coconut flour in a medium-sized bowl, along with tapioca flour and 1/4 cup of sugar (I recommend using cane sugar).

2. Gradually add in coconut oil, water, and vanilla extract while mixing until you have a sandy dough. Chill the dough in the fridge for an hour.

3. Next, work on the pistachio and almond batter. In another medium-sized bowl, whisk together butter, sugar, vanilla extract, and pistachio cream until it forms a creamy mixture.

4. Add in 1/2 cup of almond flour and whisk, followed by two eggs. Chill the batter in the fridge for an hour.

5. Add your two eggs and give it a little bit of whisk until everything is properly mixed.

6. Reserve in the fridge for an hour.

7. Preheat your oven at 350F

8. Scoop the dough into a springform pan and press it firmly at the bottom and around the edges.

9. Bake for 10 minutes before removing it from the oven and increasing the temperature to 400F.

10. Pour the pistachio and almond mixture onto the baked crust and spread it evenly. Bake for 20 minutes.

11. While the tart is cooking, prepare your chocolate ganache.

12. Heat cream until bubbles start to form, then remove the pan from the stove and add the chocolate. Let it sit for a few minutes before stirring.

13. Once your cake has chilled, pour le chocolate ganache on top of it.

14. Enjoy!
