Now, let's get to the heart of the matter: the mouthwatering Pistachio Crostata recipe. This Italian tart is surprisingly easy to make, with few simple main ingredients and this Tasty Ribbon's premium pistachio cream. It goes without saying, that you can also fill this crostata with your favorite chocolate spread or fruit jam. Make sure to check these out at TastyRibbon.com.
You can make the pasta frolla in a bowl with a pastry cutter, or using the tip of a knife to cut the butter into the flour. Or if you have a food processor, you can add all the simple ingredients for the dough (you can also add some lemon zest for extra flavor), and mix until the dough comes together. As easy as that.
Divide this buttery dough into two parts (1/4 and 3/4). Roll out the biggest ball of dough and move to the tart pan (greased with butter and flour). Fill with the pistachio cream and decorate with a lattice top like me. Or your favorite way.
Note: no need for pie weights or blind bake this crostata!
After baking, for a beautiful finish, you can decorate the top of the crostata with crushed pistachios. Or if you're feeling extravagant, serve a slice of crostata with fresh fruit, a dollop of whipped cream, a scoop of vanilla ice cream, OR a drizzle of melted white chocolate. Sounds amazing, right?!?
Store any leftover pistachio cream in a cool, dry place, and the crostata can be kept in an airtight container in the fridge for up 2 - 3 days.
