Ingredients
Scale
Tart Crust
- 1 tart crust
Filling
- 2 cups fresh orange juice
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 orange zest
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking the tart evenly.
- Prepare the filling: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the fresh orange juice, granulated sugar, eggs, all-purpose flour, and salt until the mixture is smooth and homogenous, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Assemble the tart: Pour the prepared orange filling evenly into the tart crust, spreading it gently to cover the base completely.
- Bake the tart: Place the tart in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. Bake until the filling is set but still slightly jiggly in the center, indicating it has achieved the perfect creamy texture.
- Cool and garnish: Remove the tart from the oven and allow it to cool at room temperature. Once cooled, sprinkle the top with freshly grated orange zest for a burst of aromatic citrus flavor before serving.
Notes
- Use fresh orange juice for the best flavor and natural sweetness.
- Allow the tart to cool completely before slicing to ensure clean cuts.
- Optional: Chill the tart in the refrigerator for an hour before serving for a firmer texture.
- You can substitute the tart crust with a graham cracker crust for a different texture.
- For a more intense orange flavor, add a teaspoon of orange liqueur or extract to the filling mix.
