Here’s a buttery, nutty Pistachio Tartlet recipe with a crisp pastry shell and creamy pistachio filling perfect for elegant desserts or afternoon tea.

Ingredients (makes about 6 small tartlets)

Tartlet Shells

All-purpose flour – 1 cup (125 g)

Powdered sugar – ¼ cup (30 g)

Cold unsalted butter – ½ cup (113 g), cubed

Egg yolk – 1

Cold water – 1–2 Tbsp

Pinch of salt

Pistachio Cream Filling

Shelled unsalted pistachios – ½ cup (65 g)
(lightly toasted for deeper flavor)

Almond flour – 2 Tbsp

Sugar – ¼ cup (50 g)

Unsalted butter – 2 Tbsp (28 g), softened

Egg – 1 large

Heavy cream – 2 Tbsp

Pure vanilla extract – ½ tsp

Pinch of salt

Garnish (optional)

Crushed pistachios

Fresh berries or edible flowers

A drizzle of honey or white chocolate

Method

Make the Pastry Shells

Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk flour, sugar, and salt.

Cut in Butter: Rub in the cold butter with fingertips or use a pastry cutter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Bind Dough: Add egg yolk and 1 Tbsp cold water; mix just until the dough comes together (add the second Tbsp water only if needed).

Chill: Shape into a disk, wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Prepare Tartlet Bases

Preheat oven to 175 °C / 350 °F.

Roll chilled dough on a lightly floured surface to about ⅛-inch (3 mm) thick.

Cut circles slightly larger than your tartlet pans and press into the pans, trimming excess.

Prick the bottoms with a fork. Chill 10 minutes to prevent shrinkage.

Make the Pistachio Cream

Pulse pistachios in a food processor until finely ground.

Add almond flour, sugar, softened butter, egg, cream, vanilla, and salt. Blend until smooth and creamy.

Fill & Bake

Spoon the pistachio cream into the chilled tart shells, smoothing the tops.

Bake for 20–25 minutes, until the filling is set and the crust is golden.

Cool & Garnish

Allow to cool slightly, then remove from pans.

Sprinkle with crushed pistachios, add berries, or drizzle with honey/white chocolate.

🌿 Tips & Variations

Chocolate Lover’s Twist: Brush cooled tart shells with melted dark chocolate before adding the pistachio cream for a crisp chocolate layer.

Citrus Accent: Add ½ tsp orange or lemon zest to the filling for a bright note.

Make Ahead: Shells can be baked a day ahead; store airtight. Fill and bake when ready to serve.

These Pistachio Tartlets offer a delightful balance of buttery pastry and rich nutty cream an elegant yet approachable treat for any occasion.
