Ingredients
Method
Making the Pastry
- In a bowl, beat together the very soft unsalted butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the egg and almond meal, followed by the all-purpose flour and a pinch of salt. Mix until it forms a dough.
- Wrap the dough in cling film and chill in the fridge for about 30 minutes.
Preparing the Orange Cream
- Zest your three large oranges and juice them.
- In another bowl, whisk the eggs and caster sugar until creamy, then add the orange juice, zest, cornstarch, and soft butter.
- Cook this mixture over low heat, stirring constantly until it thickens into a smooth cream.
- If desired, add the gelatine powder for a silky finish.
Baking the Tart
- Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Roll out chilled pastry and place it in a tart tin. Trim the edges and prick with a fork.
- Bake the pastry for approximately 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
- Let it cool before ladling the Orange Cream into the crust.
- Refrigerate the tart to set.
Notes
Garnish with powdered sugar or whipped cream before serving. Store in the fridge for up to 3 days covered to prevent absorbing odors.
