Pistachio and Raspberry Tart
This is one of those happy inventions that was spot on the first time I made it. You will love it if you love the tartness of raspberries, pistachios
Pistachios and raspberries are a pretty famous marriage, and a very delicious one at that.
The perfect flavour pairing for dessert, the Pistachio Praline is one of my all time favourite recipes and is perfectly used in this tart. I usually have some on hand, it is hard to resist, but somehow, there was some in the fridge. I quickly made some raspberry jam (also a favourite) and of course pastry. Assembled, baked, decorated, ate to great applause from the motley crew that are my Sunday afternoon fam bam! I was delighted to have one left over piece for the next day which I happily polished off after cycling 40km on the bike. I deserved it right? The breakfast of champions...don't forget that! Hide a piece away for the next day, it just gets better.
Now go and try some of our other raspberry delights!
