Similar in texture to a classic rich French custard tart, this version has the same sweetcrust pastry case, but the filling has a delicious pistachio flavour, rather than the normal vanilla.

Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - 5 min.

Roll out 250 g Sweetcrust pastry (pâte sablée) to the shape of your tin or mould; mine is rectangular here.

Stage 2 - 1 min.

Pick up the rolled-out pastry by rolling it loosly around the rolling pin...

Stage 3 - 1 min.

...and unroll it over the tin.

This is a way of transfering the pastry and lining the tin with less chance of it breaking.

Stage 4 - 3 min.

Make sure the pastry sits right down into the bottom of the tin...

Stage 5 - 1 min.

...then trim of the overhanging edge.

Stage 6

Put the lined tin to wait in the fridge.

Stage 7 - 5 min.

Preheat your oven to 180°C (360°F).

Prepare 800 g Paris flan filling in its pistachio version.

Stage 8 - 30 min.

Pour the filling into the pastry case and put in the oven immediately. Bake for about 30 minutes.

Stage 9

Leave to cool before serving.

Remarks

Depending on whether you prefer a stronger or more subtle pistachio flavour, you can alter the weight of pistachio paste in the recipe.

Keeping

4 or 5 days in the refrigerator, protected by a cling film.
