Ingredients
  

For the Pastry
  • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour Can substitute with gluten-free flour if desired.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt Use kosher or table salt for best results.
  • 1/4 cup Sugar Coconut sugar makes for a lower glycemic option.
  • 1 cup Cold Unsalted Butter Must remain cold—margarine isn’t a good substitute.
  • 2 large Egg Yolks For a vegan option, aquafaba works well here.
For the Frangipane Filling
  • 1 cup Ground Pistachios Feel free to swap with ground almonds.
  • 1/2 cup Ground Almonds Ground hazelnuts are an excellent alternative too.
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream Coconut cream can be used for a dairy-free option.
  • 1 teaspoon Pistachio or Almond Extract Optional if you’re out of stock.
For the Garnish
  • 1 cup Fresh Raspberries Other berries can be substituted based on what's in season.
  • 1/4 cup Coarsely Chopped Pistachios You can use any chopped nuts you prefer.

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • tart pan

  • Whisk

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, salt, and sugar, then mix well. Cut in cold unsalted butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the egg yolks and mix until the dough comes together. Shape into a ball, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for 30 minutes.
  2. In another bowl, whisk together ground pistachios, egg yolks, sugar, ground almonds, heavy cream, and optionally, pistachio or almond extract until smooth and creamy.
  3. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Roll out the chilled dough to fit your tart pan. Press it into the edges and trim any excess. Prick the base with a fork, pour the frangipane filling into the crust and smooth the top.
  4. Bake for 45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is firm. Let cool completely on a wire rack for at least 1 hour.
  5. Arrange fresh raspberries tightly on top of the filling, then sprinkle coarsely chopped pistachios over the raspberries.

Notes

Ensure your dough is chilled before rolling for a flaky texture. Use a kitchen scale for precise butter measurements. Let the tart cool completely before adding berries to preserve their texture.
