Quite the decadent dessert. Don’t be scared of the curry shortcrust. You may find you end up cooking ALL your pastry with curry powder in it.

Curried shortbread? YES, a perfect little foil for the creamy butterscotch-y-ness of the filling. Don't be afraid...you will love it!

This recipe appears in the Cooking with Tenina cookbook, which is out of print, but you can get a free copy with Insider Club membership. We did this recipe in cooking classes (don’t ask me which ones) but it was a huge it always. SO get your curry on and you will be sending me thank you emails! Pretty sure.

We love the Bannister Downs creaminess, so go with the best cream you can find in your location.

Make sure you try some of our other amazing tarts, we are nothing if not tarty around here!
