Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

• 1 ½ cups pistachios, shelled
• ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
• ¼ cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup dark chocolate, chopped
• ¾ cup heavy cream
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons orange blossom water
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Pinch of salt

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a food processor, blend the pistachios until finely ground. Combine with melted butter and sugar to form a dough.
3. Press the pistachio mixture into a tart pan, covering the bottom and sides evenly. Bake for 10-12 minutes until slightly golden. Let cool.
4. In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until just boiling. Remove from heat and add the chopped chocolate, stirring until smooth.
5. Whisk in the eggs, orange blossom water, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt into the chocolate mixture until fully combined.
6. Pour the chocolate filling into the cooled pistachio crust. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the filling is set around the edges but slightly jiggly in the center.
7. Allow the tart to cool to room temperature before refrigerating for at least 2 hours to set properly. Serve chilled.

Notes

Tip: For a more intense orange flavor, you can add a tablespoon of orange zest to the chocolate filling.

For the best texture, ensure your chocolate is high-quality and properly melted to avoid any graininess. If you prefer a nuttier flavor, feel free to toast the pistachios before grinding them for the crust.

Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to three days. To serve, consider pairing with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for added creaminess.
