Ingredients:

1 cup dried plums (prunes)
180g
1 cup heavy whipping cream
230g
1/3 cup honey
80g
1 egg
50g
2 tbsp orange zest
30g
1.50 cups all-purpose white wheat flour
190g
1/2 cup butter
110g
2 tbsp sugar
30g
1 tbsp water
16g

Instructions:

2. Mix the Dry Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 1.5 cups of all-purpose flour and 2 tablespoons of sugar.
3. Cut in the Butter:
- Add the chilled, diced butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Add Water:
- Gradually add 1 tablespoon of water, mixing just until the dough starts to come together. If the dough is too dry, add a little more water, a teaspoon at a time.
5. Form the Dough:
- Gather the dough into a ball and then flatten it into a disk.
6. Roll Out the Dough:
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to fit a 9-inch tart pan.
7. Fit the Dough into Tart Pan:
- Gently press the dough into the bottom and up the sides of the tart pan. Trim any excess dough hanging over the edges.
8. Dock the Dough:
- Use a fork to prick the bottom of the crust to prevent it from puffing up during baking.
9. Bake the Crust:
- Line the crust with parchment paper and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake for about 15 minutes. Remove the weights and parchment, then bake for another 5-7 minutes until lightly golden. Let cool completely.
2. Blend the Prunes:
- Drain the prunes and blend them into a smooth puree using a blender or food processor.
3. Make the Prune Curd:
- In a medium saucepan, combine the prune puree, 1 cup of heavy whipping cream, 1/3 cup of honey, 1 egg, and 2 tablespoons of orange zest.
4. Cook the Curd:
- Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Be sure not to let it boil.
5. Cool the Curd:
- Remove from heat and let the prune curd cool slightly.
2. Chill the Tart:
- Place the tart in the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours or until the curd is set.
2. Slice and Enjoy:
- Slice the tart into wedges and serve chilled. Enjoy your delicious Honey and Prune Curd Tart!

Tips:

- Ensure the butter is cold when making the tart crust for a flaky texture.

- Use high-quality honey for the curd to enhance the flavor profile.

- For a smoother curd, pass the prune mixture through a sieve before baking.

- Let the tart cool completely before slicing to prevent it from falling apart.

- Garnish with fresh orange zest or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra touch of elegance.

Indulge in the exquisite taste of this Honey and Prune Curd Tart, where every bite offers a harmonious blend of sweet, tangy, and buttery notes. This dessert is sure to impress your guests and leave everyone craving more.
