Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a food processor, combine flour, powdered sugar, almond flour, a pinch of salt, and the zest of one orange. Pulse until it resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
- Add chilled, cubed butter and pulse until mixed. Incorporate the egg yolk and a few tablespoons of cold water, blending until a dough forms.
- Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to firm up.
- Grease a 9-inch tart pan and roll the dough into the pan, trimming any excess. Prick the base with a fork and chill for 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F). Line the tart shell with foil, fill with weights, and bake for 12-15 minutes.
- Remove the weights and foil, trim the edges if necessary, and bake for another 10-12 minutes until golden.
- In a saucepan, heat the juice of about four oranges over medium heat until steaming.
- In a bowl, whisk together eggs, superfine sugar, and cornstarch until smooth. Slowly add the hot orange juice, whisking constantly.
- Transfer back to the saucepan and stir over low heat for about 5-7 minutes until thickened.
- Remove from heat and stir in gelatin until fully dissolved. Allow to cool slightly before incorporating butter and orange zest.
- Pour the cooled orange curd into the prepared tart shell, smoothing the top. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours to set.
- Whip heavy cream until soft peaks form, gradually adding sugar and bitters until combined.
- Garnish with whipped cream, crushed pistachios, and mint before serving.
