Here’s how to prepare this delicacy step by step. Total preparation time: 1 hour and 30 minutes Preparation time: 30 minutes Baking time: 1 hour Number of servings: 8 Ingredients for the crust: - 200 g flour - 1 egg - 100 g butter (at room temperature) - 2 tablespoons sour cream - 2 tablespoons powdered sugar - 1/2 packet baking powder Ingredients for the caramelized nuts: - 100 g sugar - 140 g ground walnuts - 6 tablespoons sour cream Ingredients for the cheese cream: - 500 g cheese (preferably mascarpone or ricotta) - 100 g powdered sugar - 1 packet vanilla pudding - 3 large eggs - 100 g soft butter - Zest of one lemon Step 1: Preparing the crust 1. Start by attaching the plastic blade to the food processor. Add the flour, butter, egg, sour cream, powdered sugar, and baking powder. 2. Process the ingredients on high speed until the dough forms a homogeneous ball. If the dough is too dry, you can add a tablespoon of cold water. 3. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 15-20 minutes. This step is essential to allow the dough to firm up, making it easier to roll out later. Step 2: Baking the crust 1. Preheat the oven to 180°C. 2. On a lightly floured work surface, roll out the dough into a round shape, ensuring it is even. Transfer it to a tart pan, covering the edges as well. 3. Prick the crust with a fork to prevent puffing and bake it in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, until lightly golden. Step 3: Preparing the caramelized nuts 1. In a skillet, add the sugar and let it melt over medium heat, stirring constantly. When the sugar turns a golden caramel, add the ground walnuts and mix well to coat evenly. 2. Add the sour cream and stir quickly. Let the mixture simmer on low heat for 3-5 minutes until it becomes homogeneous and slightly creamy. Set aside to cool. Step 4: Preparing the cheese cream 1. In a large bowl, mix the cheese with the powdered sugar and lemon zest until you get a smooth mixture. 2. Add the eggs one by one, continuing to mix. Then incorporate the soft butter and vanilla pudding. Make sure there are no lumps. 3. Pour the obtained cream over the cooled tart crust. Step 5: Assembling and final baking 1. Add the caramelized nuts on top of the cheese cream, spreading them evenly. 2. Bake the tart in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, until the cream sets and becomes golden. 3. Allow the tart to cool completely before slicing. Serving and variations Serve the refreshing walnut tart with caramel sauce and cheese alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream or with a berry sauce for a delicious contrast. You can also experiment with other types of nuts, such as almonds or hazelnuts, to add a personal touch. This tart recipe is not only a quick dessert but will surely impress with its delicious flavors and attractive appearance. Try it and treat yourself and your loved ones to an unforgettable culinary experience!
