Cherry Pistachio Tart

Ingredients

Scale

Creating a Cherry Pistachio Tart is a breeze with these readily available ingredients. Here’s what you’ll need:

  • 1 pre-made pie crust
  • 2 cups fresh or frozen cherries, pitted
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
  • 3/4 cup chopped pistachios
  • Whipped cream (for serving)

Instructions

Follow these simple steps to bring your Cherry Pistachio Tart to life:

  1. Preheat the Oven:
    Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures that the oven is at the perfect temperature when it’s time to bake your tart.
  2. Prepare the Cherry Mixture:
    In a mixing bowl, combine the pitted cherries, sugar, cornstarch, vanilla extract, and almond extract. Stir until the cherries are evenly coated with the mixture. This will help thicken the cherry juices as they cook, creating a luscious filling for your tart.
  3. Assemble the Tart:
    Place the pre-made pie crust into a tart pan or pie dish. Pour the cherry mixture into the crust, spreading it evenly to ensure each slice gets a generous amount of filling.
  4. Add the Pistachios:
    Sprinkle the chopped pistachios evenly over the top of the cherry mixture. The pistachios will add a delightful crunch and a nutty flavor that complements the cherries perfectly.
  5. Bake the Tart:
    Place the tart in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the filling is bubbly and the crust is golden brown. Keep an eye on it to ensure that the nuts do not burn.
  6. Cool and Serve:
    Once baked, remove the tart from the oven and allow it to cool to room temperature. This will help the filling set up a bit more. Serve slices with a dollop of whipped cream for an extra touch of indulgence.
