Yield Makes 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

Crust
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
10 tablespoons (1 1/4 sticks) chilled unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
2 tablespoons (or more) ice water
1 large egg yolk
Pastry cream
2 cups whole milk
1 tablespoon cardamom pods, crushed slightly
5 large egg yolks
1/2 cup sugar
6 tablespoons all purpose flour
2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) unsalted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Topping
6 blood oranges or small navel oranges
1/2 cup apricot preserves, melted, strained
2 teaspoons grenadine (optional)

Steps:

  • For crust:
  • Combine flour, sugar and salt in processor. Add butter and cut in, using on/off turns, until mixture resembles coarse meal. Whisk 2 tablespoons ice water and yolk in small bowl. Add to dry ingredients and blend just until moist clumps form, adding more water by teaspoonfuls if dough is dry. Gather dough into ball; flatten into disk. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate at least 1 hour and up to 1 day.
  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Roll out dough on lightly floured surface to 13- to 14-inch round. Transfer dough to 11-inch-diameter tart pan with removable bottom. Press in overhang, forming double-thick sides. Pierce dough all over with fork. Freeze crust 30 minutes. Bake until golden brown, pressing with back of fork if crust bubbles or slips, about 30 minutes. Transfer to rack and cool.
  • For pastry cream:
  • Bring milk and cardamom to boil in medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Remove from heat. Cover and let steep 15 minutes. Strain milk into bowl. Whisk yolks, sugar and flour in medium bowl to blend. Gradually whisk in milk. Return to saucepan and cook over medium heat until pastry cream thickens and boils, whisking constantly, about 5 minutes. Whisk in butter, then vanilla. Transfer to bowl. Press plastic wrap onto surface. Chill until cold, at least 4 hours and up to 1 day.
  • For topping:
  • Cut peel and white pith from oranges. Slice into 1/4-inch-thick rounds. Drain rounds on paper towels. Whisk preserves and grenadine, if desired, in small bowl to blend. Spread pastry cream evenly in tart crust. Arrange oranges in overlapping concentric circles on pastry cream. Brush apricot glaze over oranges. Chill until set, about 15 minutes. (Can be made 6 hours ahead; keep refrigerated.)

I don't have a tart pan. Can I use a different type of pan?

I'm allergic to oranges. Is there a way to make this tart without them?

I'm not sure about the cardamom in the pastry cream. It seems like an odd flavor combination.

I'm not usually a fan of blood oranges, but this tart changed my mind. The combination of the tart oranges and the sweet pastry cream was perfect.

This blood orange tart was a delightful treat! The cardamom pastry cream added a unique and flavorful twist to the classic citrus tart. The tart was easy to make and turned out beautifully.
