Hurry before it runs out! Apricot season is too short; I had to maneuver between working on this recipe and sticking to the schedule to post it.
So just before they disappear from the market, when the apricot is ripe and sweet, it’s time to make a tart. To be precise – Apricot Pistachio tart! Because, between us, what could possibly go wrong with such a magical pairing?
I got the inspiration for this delicious apricot and pistachio tart from Bruno Albouze, a virtuoso pastry chef.
Bruno made a tart with a classic French crust, pistachio almond cream for the filling, and topped with ripe apricot. He served this decadent dish with pistachio ice cream. As Bruno puts it – It’s a real deal 🙂
When I veganize a recipe, I try to add a personal fingerprint, such as conducting an intimate dialogue between the crust and the filling; so this time I added pistachios to the crust!
I chose ripe, soft, sweet apricots (this is critical – otherwise, the tart will turn out very sour), cut them into quarters, and arranged them on the cream. I sprinkled sugar and baked the tart until the apricots were soft.
Next, I melted some apricot jam and brushed it over the apricots.
I sprinkled roasted pistachios, placed a scoop of pistachio ice cream on top, and served. The result was a delightful summer celebration!
The sweetness-sourness of the apricots, with the pistachios, creates a delicacy that is hard to resist.
Enjoy, and let me know how it turned out 🍑🍑😋😋❣❣
