Ingredients

For the Tart Shells:

  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed

  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar

  • 1/4 tsp salt

  • 1-2 tbsp cold water

For the Pistachio Cream Filling:

  • 1/2 cup unsalted pistachios (shelled, raw or roasted unsalted)

  • 1/4 cup sugar

  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

  • 1/2 cup heavy cream

  • 1/4 cup mascarpone cheese

For the Blackberry Topping:

  • 1 1/2 cups fresh blackberries

  • 1 tbsp honey (optional)

  • Zest of 1 lemon

Garnish (optional):

  • Crushed pistachios

  • Edible flowers

  • Fresh mint leaves

Instructions

  • Preheat Oven: Set to 350°F (175°C). Grease mini tart pans or tartlet molds.

  • Make Tart Dough: In a food processor, pulse flour, powdered sugar, and salt. Add cold butter and pulse until crumbly. Add water a little at a time until dough just comes together.

  • Form & Bake Shells: Press dough into tart molds. Prick bottoms with a fork. Bake for 15–18 minutes or until golden. Let cool completely.

  • Prepare Pistachio Cream: In a processor, blend pistachios and sugar into a fine meal. Add vanilla, heavy cream, and mascarpone. Blend until creamy and smooth.

  • Fill Shells: Spoon or pipe pistachio cream into cooled tart shells.

  • Top with Blackberries: Arrange blackberries on top. Drizzle with honey and sprinkle with lemon zest.

  • Garnish: Decorate with crushed pistachios, edible flowers, and mint if desired. Chill before serving

Notes

  • For a smooth filling, soak pistachios in hot water for 10 minutes before blending.

  • Tarts are best assembled same day but tart shells and cream can be made a day in advance.
