Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients for the base
- 160g of plain biscuits (use gluten / wheat-free for a gluten-free recipe)
- 100g of dairy-free block butter / margarine
Ingredients for the chocolate layer
- 100g of dairy-free dark chocolate
- 50g of coconut cream (the thick white cream from a can of coconut milk)
Ingredients for the pistachio filling
- 100g of pistachio butter
- 100g of dairy-free white chocolate
- 1/2 tablespoon of dairy-free butter
- 120g of kataifi pastry
Ingredients for the cream
- 220ml of dairy-free whipping cream
- 20g of pistachio nuts (finely ground)
Instructions
Ingredients for the base
- Line a cupcake tin with 6 cupcake liners, set aside.
- Crumble the biscuits into a blender and blitz until you have fine crumbs.
- Add the dairy-free butter into a saucepan, heat on low until melted. Add the melted butter into the biscuits and pulse again to combine.
- Add 2-3 tablespoons of buttery biscuit base into each cupcake case, and compact with something flat, like the base of a small glass or rolling pin. You want the mixture to go up the sides of the case, creating a cup shape for the fillings to sit in.
Method (chocolate)
- In a small saucepan, add in the dairy-free dark chocolate and coconut cream. Allow this to melt together, stiring with a heat proof spatula to prevent sticking and burning. The chocolate ganache should be silky smooth.
- Once melted, add 1/2 tablespoon into each cupcake tin, using a spoon to spread it up the sides of the biscuit base. The chocolate will help the fillings set in place and also adds another delicious flavour layer.
- Allow the chocolate to set in the fridge.
Method (Pistachio crunchy layer)
- Melt the dairy-free white chocolate until smooth, then add in the pistachio butter. Mix well to combine and until fully combined.
- Place a medium / large pan on the hob, turn to a medium heat and add in the butter. Allow this to melt.
- Use a serrated knife to chop up the kataifi pastry. Add the pastry into the pan and cook until it all turns a deep golden brown colour. This will take around 10-15 minutes, stirring with a heat proof spatula. Then take this off the heat.
- Transfer the golden shredded pastry into a bowl then drizzle over the pistachio and white chocolate mixture. Stir to combine until all the pastry is covered.
- Spoon the filling into each mould, packing it down with a spoon or end of a rolling pin. Place into the fridge for 10 minutes. Watch the video tutorial here.
Method (whipped cream)
- In a bowl of a stand mixer with balloon whisk attachment, or in a bowl using an electric hand whisk, add in the whipping cream and whip until soft peaks. Fold in the ground pistachio nuts.
- Transfer the cream into a piping bag fitted with a medium sized round tip nozzle.
- Pipe a bulb of the pistachio cream on-top of each dessert. Finish off with a dusting of pistachios.
- Serve and enjoy.
Notes
To store: Store the tarts in a airtight / sealed container in the fridge and enjoy within 3 days of making. Allow them to come to room temperature for 10 minutes to allow the chocolate and butter to soften slightly before enjoying.
