Light Saint-Genix Praline Tart Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and diced
• 1/4 cup ground almonds
• 1 egg yolk
• 1 tablespoon cold water
• 1 cup praline paste
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 3 large egg yolks
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar

Instructions:

1. In a large bowl, mix together flour and sugar. Add in the diced butter and rub it into the mixture until it looks like coarse crumbs. Add in the ground almonds, egg yolk, and cold water. Mix until it forms a dough.
2. Flour your countertop and roll out the dough into a circle. Transfer it into a 9-inch tart pan. Cover it with parchment paper and add some pie weights.
3. Bake the crust for 12 minutes in a 400°F (205°C) oven. Remove the parchment paper and pie weights, and bake for another 10 minutes. Set aside.
4. Mix together the praline paste, cream, egg yolks, and granulated sugar in a bowl. Pour the mixture over the pre-baked crust.
5. Bake for 35-40 minutes in a 350°F (175°C) oven. The top should be golden brown and set. Set aside to cool.
6. Serve the tart at room temperature or chilled, with some whipped cream on top (optional).

Verdict:

This Light Saint-Genix Praline Tart is a perfect dessert that combines crunchy, nutty, and buttery flavors in one bite. The praline paste filling is rich and silky, without being too heavy. The crust is light and flaky, and the ground almonds add a great texture. This tart is not overly sweet, making it perfect for any occasion.

Serving Suggestions:

Serve this tart with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. It pairs well with a cup of coffee or tea, or a glass of sweet dessert wine. This is a great dessert to serve at a dinner party, a holiday gathering, or a special occasion.
