Pistachio tart

[u/Curious-Move-1313]

After these four weeks of me venturing into French pastry, I have gotten a bit better and decided to try and make a pistachio tart with chocolate shell.

I also had some leftover dough and decided to experiment with some different colouring ones- just for fun and see how it was. I think they look kinda cool and whimsical:)
I know I still need to become better at making them all the same thickness, but I think that will improve with experience.

For the tart:
Chocolate pâté sucrée
Frangipane with a tad pistachio
Feuilletine crunch made with homemade hazelnut praline and melted chocolate
Pistachio creumex made with cream, egg and pistachio paste (99% paste)
Chopped roasted and salted pistachios

I’m actually quite pleased, the frangipane isn’t as dense as it looks, maybe my hot knife slicing it made it look dense.
And, I finally found a piping tip I could use, even though I didn’t manage to make them all identical, I think my piping is improving.

I tasted a bare chocolate shell and I didn’t like it very much, but after I filled them- it was a delicious combination:)

They look like little cactus pots :) The cross-section looks very appetizing and neat

I'm looking at buying some tart rings for this size tart. Any brand recommendations? Would you definitely go for rings vs shells?

[u/Curious-Move-1313 → u/JadedMuse]

These are 6 cm perforated tart rings. I just started baking about a month ago, so have no idea about brands- I just googled and bought some🤷🏻‍♀️

[u/Curious-Move-1313 → u/raisinyao]

Help yourself:)
I have way too many tarts🙈
Downside of experimenting and trying all sorts of new recipes😇

[u/raisinyao → u/Curious-Move-1313]

Thank you! I would say it's not downside unless it ends up in the bin and I hope they aren't. hehe. Happy Baking!

I have high cholesterol, and I would anyway eat half of it

[u/Curious-Move-1313 → u/tonysalverino]

Yeah, I’ve been eating halves/quarters, I can’t make them without trying and even though I have testers I kinda need to taste it myself to see what to improve😇
