Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup crushed graham crackers
- 1/2 cup ground pistachios
- 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 cup raspberry preserves
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- To kick off this delectable dessert, start by creating the tart crust. In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers, ground pistachios, melted butter, and sugar. Stir the mixture until it resembles a wet sand texture. Now, it's time to mold this delicious mix into your tart pans. Evenly press the crust mixture into the base and sides of each pan, ensuring they are well-formed. To allow the flavors to meld and firm up, place the crusts in the refrigerator to chill for 30 minutes.
- Once your crust has set beautifully, it's time to layer in that luscious raspberry filling. Start by spreading a generous amount of raspberry preserves evenly over the chilled crust, ensuring each tart is adequately covered. Then, top it off with fresh raspberries for that burst of fruity flavor and vibrant color. This combination not only enhances the taste of your tarts but also provides a stunning visual contrast.
- The next step is to make the delightful cream topping. In a separate mixing bowl, pour in the heavy cream, adding the powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Using either a hand mixer or a stand mixer, whip the cream at medium speed until stiff peaks form — this should only take a few minutes, so keep an eye on it! Once you have achieved that airy texture, gently dollop the whipped cream on top of the fresh raspberries, giving your tarts a beautiful finish.
- Your tarts are almost complete! Carefully cover each tart with plastic wrap or a lid, and refrigerate them for at least one hour. This step allows the flavors to meld together while ensuring the cream topping holds its shape. When you're ready to serve, garnish your Raspberry Rhapsody Tarts with additional fresh raspberries and sprinkle some finely chopped pistachios on top for an added touch of elegance.
Notes
Make sure to use fresh raspberries for the best flavor and presentation. Store leftover tarts in the refrigerator for up to three days.
