The holiday season is in full swing, which means it’s time to indulge in some festive treats! One dessert that’s sure to impress your family and friends this Christmas is a delicious tart. This dessert is the perfect combination of tart and sweet, and its Christmas twist will leave everyone wanting more.

To make the perfect Christmas currant tart, you’ll need the following ingredients:

Crust:

– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 1/4 cup granulated sugar
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 8 tablespoons unsalted butter, cubed
– 1 egg yolk

Filling:

– 1/2 cup currants
– 1/4 cup granulated sugar
– 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
– 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
– 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 2 large eggs
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. First, preheat your oven to 375°F.

2. For the crust, mix together the flour, sugar, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Add in the cubed butter and use a pastry cutter to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles small peas. Add in the egg yolk and mix until the dough comes together.

3. Roll out the dough on a floured surface and transfer it to a 9-inch tart pan. Press the dough into the pan and trim off any excess. Prick the bottom of the dough with a fork and then chill in the freezer for 15 minutes.

4. After 15 minutes, take the tart shell out of the freezer and cover it with parchment paper. Fill the shell with pie weights or dried beans and bake for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, remove the pie weights and parchment paper and bake for another 10 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.

5. For the filling, mix together the currants, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt in a small bowl. In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, and vanilla extract.

6. Scatter the currant mixture over the bottom of the tart shell and pour the egg and cream mixture over it.

7. Bake the tart for 30-35 minutes or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown. Let the tart cool for at least 30 minutes before serving.

8. To add an extra festive touch, you can sprinkle some powdered sugar over the top of the tart before serving or decorate it with some holly leaves and berries.

This Christmas currant tart is the perfect dessert to serve at your holiday gatherings. Its tartness balances out the sweetness of all the other treats, and its Christmas twist is sure to stand out. Plus, it’s relatively easy to make, so you won’t have to spend hours in the kitchen.

So, try this recipe out this holiday season, and bring a smile to your loved ones’ faces with this delicious dessert!
