  • ¼ cup powdered sugar
  • ½ cup cold dairy-free butter cubed
  • 2-4 tbsp cold water

Pistachio Frangipane:

  • 1 cup shelled pistachios
  • ½ cup almond flour
  • ½ cup light brown sugar
  • ¼ cup dairy-free butter softened
  • 2 tbsp plant-based milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tbsp water flax egg

Topping:

  • 3-4 ripe peaches thinly sliced
  • ½ cup chopped pistachios
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup light brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp dairy-free butter melted

Instructions

Prepare the Shortcrust Pastry:

  • In a large bowl, mix the flour and powdered sugar.
  • Add the cold dairy-free butter and rub it into the flour mixture until it resembles breadcrumbs.
  • Add cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together.
  • Form the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Prepare the Pistachio Frangipane:

  • In a food processor, blend the pistachios until finely ground.
  • Add the almond flour, brown sugar, softened dairy-free butter, plant-based milk, vanilla extract, and flax egg. Blend until smooth and well combined.

Roll Out the Pastry:

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Roll out the chilled pastry on a lightly floured surface to fit a 9-inch tart pan.
  • Transfer the pastry to the tart pan, pressing it into the edges and trimming any excess.

Assemble the Tart:

  • Spread the pistachio frangipane evenly over the pastry.
  • Arrange the peach slices on top of the frangipane in a circular pattern.

Prepare the Pistachio Crumble:

  • In a small bowl, mix the chopped pistachios, flour, brown sugar, and melted dairy-free butter until crumbly.
  • Sprinkle the crumble over the peaches.

Bake the Tart:

  • Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the frangipane is set and the pastry is golden.
  • Allow the tart to cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Serve:

  • Slice and serve the tart at room temperature or chilled.
  • Enjoy this rich, nutty, and fruity Peach and Pistachio Tart!

Notes

  • Peaches: Use ripe but firm peaches for the best flavor and texture.
  • Pistachio Frangipane: Ensure the frangipane is smooth before spreading over the pastry.
  • Serving: This tart is best enjoyed at room temperature or chilled for a refreshing summer treat.
  • Storage: Store the tart in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
