Ingredients

Scale
  • 200g all-purpose flour
  • 100g unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 100g powdered sugar
  • 40g whole egg
  • A pinch of salt
  • 100g heavy cream
  • 125g granulated sugar
  • 30g demi-sel butter (or salted butter)
  • A splash of water
  • 60g walnuts
  • 60g pecans
  • 30g hazelnuts
  • 30g blanched almonds
  • 20g currants

Instructions

  1. Mix the dry ingredients. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and powdered sugar.
  2. Incorporate the butter. Add the room-temp butter and rub it into the flour mixture until it resembles wet sand.
  3. Add the egg and salt. Mix until the dough forms a cohesive ball.
  4. Chill the dough. Wrap in plastic wrap and let chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
  5. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
  6. Prepare your nuts. Roughly chop the walnuts, pecans, hazelnuts, and almonds.
  7. Roll out the dough. Roll it into a 12-inch circle, then press into a tart pan.
  8. Trim the excess dough and prick the base with a fork.
  9. Blind bake the crust. Line with parchment paper and bake for 15-20 minutes until golden.
  10. Create the caramel. In a saucepan, combine granulated sugar and water. Cook gently until it turns amber color.
  11. Add cream and butter. Whisk in the heavy cream and demi-sel butter.
  12. Combine the filling. Mix the chopped nuts, dried fruits, and three-quarters of the caramel.
  13. Fill the crust with the nut mixture and drizzle with remaining caramel.
  14. Bake the tart for another 15-20 minutes until bubbly.
  15. Cool before serving on a wire rack.

Notes

Serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for a luxurious treat.
