Method
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour mini tartlet pans.
- In a food processor, combine all-purpose flour and powdered sugar. Add cold cubed butter and pulse until it resembles coarse crumbs. Incorporate the egg yolk and ice water, pulsing until a dough forms.
- Roll the dough into a ball, flatten it into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- On a floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to about 1/8-inch thickness. Cut out circles and press them into the tartlet pans. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Allow them to cool completely.
Filling and Assembly
- Pulse the shelled pistachios in the food processor until finely ground. In a mixing bowl, combine ground pistachios with heavy cream, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and softened butter. Beat until smooth and creamy.
- Spread a layer of cherry jam into each tartlet shell. Pipe or spoon the pistachio filling generously on top of the jam.
- Garnish each tartlet with fresh cherries and sprinkle with crushed pistachios.
Notes
Chill your utensils for the best crust. You can customize flavors, and avoid overmixing the dough.
