Strawberry Pistachio Tart is a stunning dessert featuring a buttery tart crust, creamy pistachio filling, and fresh strawberries. The perfect balance of nutty, sweet, and fruity flavors makes it an elegant treat for any occasion.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1–2 tablespoons cold water
  • 3/4 cup ground pistachios or pistachio flour
  • 8 oz cream cheese or mascarpone
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 2–3 tablespoons honey or powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 pint fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
  • 2 tablespoons crushed pistachios (for garnish)
  • Honey or warmed apricot jam (optional, for glaze)

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix flour and powdered sugar. Cut in cold butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  2. Add egg yolk and cold water; mix until dough forms. Shape into a disc, wrap, and chill for 30 minutes.
  3. Roll out dough and fit into a tart pan. Prick bottom with a fork and chill 10 minutes.
  4. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 18–20 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool completely.
  5. In a food processor, blend ground pistachios with cream cheese or mascarpone until smooth.
  6. Add honey, vanilla, and heavy cream; beat until light and fluffy. Adjust sweetness to taste.
  7. Spread pistachio cream evenly over the cooled crust.
  8. Arrange halved strawberries on top decoratively and sprinkle crushed pistachios over the tart.
  9. Drizzle lightly with honey or glaze with warmed apricot jam if desired.
  10. Chill for at least 1 hour before serving.

Notes

  • For best results, use fresh, ripe strawberries.
  • To keep berries fresh, glaze with apricot jam or honey.
  • Prepare crust and filling separately if making ahead.
  • Use mascarpone for a richer, Italian-style flavor.
