Whipped pistachio ganache:

  • Freeze for 10 minutes.
  • In a saucepan, heat heavy cream and pistachio powder until boiling. Add white chocolate until melted.
  • Add the gelatin and stir until smooth.
  • Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, covered with cling film.

Pie crust:

  • In a mixing bowl, combine all dry ingredients and butter. Mix until crumbs form, resembling couscous.
  • Add the egg and mix until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
  • Flatten between two sheets of parchment paper and freeze for 15 minutes.
  • Line a tart pan with the dough, press it well, trim excess, and freeze for about half an hour.
  • Bake in a preheated oven at 360°F (165℃) for 20-24 minutes in convection bake. Keep the oven turned on for the next step.

  • Bake for 15 minutes at 340℉ (170℃).
  • Allow to cool.

Pistachio praline:

  • In a small pan, melt sugar and water until it turns amber. Pour onto parchment paper or silicone.
  • Wait until it solidifies and process it with pistachios in a food processor, gradually adding oil until you get a relatively liquid praline.

Chocolate ganache:

  • Heat cream and honey until boiling. Add chocolate until melted and pour into the tart.
  • Chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour or freeze for 30 minutes for a faster setting.

Whipped pistachio ganache:

  • Whip the ganache until it thickens and decorate the tart.
  • Freeze the tart for long-term storage or keep it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days in an airtight container.
