Australian Lemon Myrtle and Macadamia Tart with Raspberry Coulis
This vibrant tart combines the unique citrusy notes of Australian lemon myrtle with the buttery crunch of macadamia nuts, all nestled in a sweet pastry crust. A bright raspberry coulis adds a beautiful color contrast and a tart counterpoint to the rich filling.
Let's cook.
To make the crust, combine 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter (cubed) in a food processor. Pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add 2-3 tablespoons of ice water, one tablespoon at a time, pulsing until the dough just comes together. Form into a disc, wrap in plastic, and chill for 30 minutes.
Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface to a 12-inch circle. Carefully transfer the dough to a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom. Press the dough into the bottom and up the sides, trimming any excess. Prick the bottom with a fork and chill for another 15 minutes.
For the filling, whisk together 3 large eggs, 1/2 cup heavy cream, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon lemon myrtle powder in a medium bowl until well combined. Stir in 1/2 cup finely chopped macadamia nuts.
Pour the filling into the chilled tart crust. Bake at 375°F/190°C for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set with a slight wobble in the center. Let cool completely on a wire rack.
While the tart cools, prepare the raspberry coulis. Combine 1 cup fresh raspberries and 2 tablespoons granulated sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the raspberries break down and the sugar dissolves. Press the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove seeds, then chill.
Once the tart is completely cool, carefully remove it from the tart pan. Serve slices of the tart with a generous drizzle of the chilled raspberry coulis.
