If you love baking and are looking for an easy oven-baked dessert with the comforting taste of homemade, this prune tart is for you! We’ll guide you step by step to create a perfect base that you can use in many other recipes.
You’ll learn how to make homemade short crust pastry (or pâte sablée), that crispy and versatile base that is essential for both sweet pies and savory preparations such as quiches.
To enhance the flavor of our pie, we macerate the prunes in brandy or orange liqueur, giving them a unique aromatic depth. Then, they are incorporated into a creamy mixture of cream, eggs, and sugar that is baked inside the tart shell.
Once ready, we unmold and top this gem with a shiny layer of peach jam and a touch of fresh mint. The result is an irresistibly sweet and elegant tart!
