Yield Makes 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

Crust
1 3/4 cups all purpose flour
1/3 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon (scant) salt
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
10 tablespoons (1 1/4 sticks) chilled unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 teaspoon grated orange peel
2 tablespoons (or more) ice water
Filling
1 cup whipping cream (do not use heavy whipping cream)
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup (packed) golden brown sugar
1/4 cup forest honey or other honey
3/4 cup coarsely chopped walnuts, toasted (scant 4 ounces)
3/4 cup sliced almonds, toasted (about 3 ounces)
3/4 cup shelled unsalted natural pistachios, toasted (scant 4 ounces)
1 1/2 teaspoons rose water*

Steps:

  • For crust:
  • Blend flour, powdered sugar, salt, and ground cloves in processor. Add butter and orange peel. Using on/off turns, process until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add 2 tablespoons ice water and process until moist clumps form, adding more ice water by teaspoonfuls if mixture is dry. Transfer dough to 10- to 10 1/2-inch tart pan with removable bottom. Press dough evenly onto bottom and up sides of pan. Freeze crust 25 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, prepare filling:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Combine cream, both sugars, and honey in heavy medium saucepan. Bring to boil, stirring until sugar dissolves. Continue to boil until mixture darkens and thickens slightly, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in all nuts and rose water. Spoon filling evenly into crust.
  • Bake tart until filling is caramel brown and bubbling thickly and crust is golden, about 38 minutes. Transfer tart to rack and cool completely in pan. Carefully remove pan sides from tart. Place tart on platter. (Can be prepared 3 days ahead. Cover and store at room temperature.) Cut tart into wedges and serve at room temperature.
  • *Available at some supermarkets, specialty foods stores, and Middle Eastern markets.

This tart is a great way to use up leftover nuts. I had some leftover walnuts and almonds and they worked perfectly in this recipe.

I love the combination of flavors in this tart. The caramelized nuts, sweet filling, and flaky crust are all perfect together.

This tart is a great make-ahead dessert. I made it the day before and it was still just as delicious the next day.

I added a scoop of vanilla ice cream to my tart and it was the perfect dessert. The ice cream helped to balance out the sweetness of the tart.

I used a pre-made pie crust to save time and it worked out great. The tart was still very flaky and delicious.

I made this tart with pecans instead of walnuts and it was still delicious. I think any type of nut would work well in this recipe.

This tart was a little too sweet for my taste, but it was still very good. I would recommend using less sugar in the filling if you don't like your desserts too sweet.

I'm not a huge fan of nuts, but I really enjoyed this tart. The nuts were caramelized perfectly and they added a nice crunch to the tart.
