Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 1.5 cups of all-purpose flour and 2 tablespoons of sugar.
- 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.
- 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.
- Gather the dough into a ball and then flatten it into a disk.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to fit a 9-inch 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.
- Use a fork to prick the bottom of the crust to prevent it from puffing up during baking.
- 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.
- Drain the prunes and blend them into a smooth puree using a blender or food processor.
- 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.
- 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.
- Remove from heat and let the prune curd cool slightly.
- Place the tart in the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours or until the curd is set.
- 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.
