Orange Tart Recipe

This Orange Tart is a vibrant and tangy dessert that is suitable for any occasion. The buttery crust complements the sweet and slightly tart orange filling perfectly.

Ingredients

1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
3 egg yolks
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 1/2 cups freshly squeezed orange juice
1/4 cup cornstarch
1 tablespoon orange zest
1/2 cup granulated sugar

Time Needed

Prep Time: 30 minutes
Cook Time: 35 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour, 5 minutes

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Pulse flour, butter, confectioners' sugar, and salt in a food processor until the mixture resembles coarse sand.
Add 1 egg yolk and pulse until dough forms.
Dough should be pressed evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom.
Chill for 15 minutes after pricking the bottom of the crust with a fork.
Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is lightly golden.
Whisk together the remaining 2 egg yolks, granulated sugar, and cornstarch in a medium saucepan until smooth.
Whisk in the orange juice until smooth.
Cook, stirring constantly, over medium heat until the mixture thickens and boils.
Remove from the heat and whisk in 1/4 cup of the butter and the orange zest until the butter is melted and the mixture is smooth.
Pour the orange mixture into the tart shell.
Bake for another 15-20 minutes, or until the filling is set.
Allow tart to cool to room temperature before chilling for at least 1 hour.
