Chai Spice Tart
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup ice water
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons black tea leaves
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- In a food processor, combine 1 1/2 cups of flour, 1/4 cup of granulated sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Add 1/2 cup of cold, cubed unsalted butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add 1/4 cup of ice water and pulse until the dough comes together. Shape the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface and fit it into a 9-inch tart pan. Trim any excess dough and prick the bottom with a fork. Line the crust with parchment paper and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake for 15 minutes, then remove the weights and parchment paper and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown. Allow to cool completely.
- In a small saucepan, heat 1 cup of heavy cream until it just begins to simmer. Remove from heat and add 2 tablespoons of black tea leaves. Let steep for 5 minutes, then strain the cream into a bowl and discard the tea leaves.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon of ground ginger, 1/4 teaspoon of ground cardamom, 1/4 teaspoon of ground cloves, and 1/4 teaspoon of ground nutmeg. Add the spice mixture and 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the steeped cream and whisk until well combined.
- Pour the spiced cream mixture into the cooled tart crust and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until set.
- Before serving, dust the Chai Spice Tart with 1/4 cup of powdered sugar. Slice and enjoy!
