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 500 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 1 kg 600 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.

Crème brulée

Crème brûlée (burned cream) is quite easy to prepare: it's a simple egg-cream dessert. The only difficulty is in making the delicious crunchy caramel layer on top. The perfect crème brulée (for me) is a cold and soft cream, with on top a nice hot caramel crust. This is a completely new version...

Passion fruit jellies

Usually to make fruit jellies or (fruit "paste"), it's like jam but you need to cook fruit pulp and sugar much longer. Unfortunately, this long cooking is bad for both vitamins and flavour. In this recipe we use a special jam gelling agent, to reduce cooking time as much as possible .
