Ingredients for Linzer Tart

For the Tart Base:

• 1.5 cups of flour

• 1 cup of coconut powder

• 3/4 cup of powdered sugar

• 200g of room temperature butter

• 3 eggs

• 1/3 cup of milk

• 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla

• 1 pinch of salt

• 1 teaspoon of baking powder

For the Cream Filling:

• 2.5 cups of milk

• 4 tablespoons of cornstarch

• 100g of whipped cream powder (or cream)

• 2 tablespoons of rose water

How to Make Linzer Tart

1. Prepare the Cream Filling:

   • Start by making the cream filling. Add all the ingredients needed for the cream into a saucepan and mix them together. Cook over medium heat while constantly stirring until the mixture thickens. Set it aside and let it cool down a little.

2. Prepare the Tart Base:

   • To make the tart base, beat the butter for about 1 minute until it becomes soft. Add the powdered sugar and beat for 3 minutes until the mixture becomes light and creamy. Add the vanilla and mix.

   • Now, add the eggs one by one, mixing well after each addition. Finally, add the milk and mix until combined.

   • Sift the flour, salt, and baking powder three times, then add to the mixture and stir with a spatula until well combined. Add the coconut powder and mix again.

3. Assemble the Tart:

   • Take three-quarters of the batter and place it in a piping bag. Grease a removable tart pan and spread the remaining batter evenly inside it. Use the piping bag to fill the edges of the pan.

   • Pour the cream filling into the center of the tart and spread it out evenly. Using the batter in the piping bag, pipe a diamond or square pattern on top of the tart. Decorate with cherries or sour cherries.

4. Bake the Tart:

   • Preheat the oven to 180°C. Place the tart pan in the oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until a clean wooden skewer comes out from the tart. Finally, turn on the grill to lightly brown the top of the tart.

5. Finishing Touch:

   • After removing the tart from the oven, allow it to cool slightly. Decorate the top with ground pistachios and cut the tart into slices. You can enjoy it with a little syrup for extra sweetness.
