With golden puff pastry and a blend of fruity and vanilla flavors, you’ll create an elegant and delicious tart. Discover how to make this Oranaise tart in a few quick and easy steps, ideal for any occasion!
To prepare this Oranaise tart, you need simple ingredients that you can easily find in your local stores. Use ready-made puff pastry, such as Herta Trésor de Grand-Mère puff pastry, which gives a light and crispy texture. The pastry cream filling, made with milk, sugar, eggs, and vanilla, will bring an irresistible sweetness to the recipe. The apricots in syrup, placed on top of the cream, add a touch of freshness and fruitiness.
Preparing the pastry cream is a key step in this recipe. Start by heating milk, sugar, and a vanilla bean to create a fragrant base. Then whisk the eggs with sugar and cornstarch to thicken the mixture. Once the cream is ready, chill it in the refrigerator for two hours until it becomes firm and creamy. This step ensures a smooth and velvety pastry cream, perfect for a successful Oranaise tart.
Once the pastry cream is ready, spread it over your puff pastry rolled out in a crown tart pan. Gently arrange the apricot halves on top of the cream, forming a pretty pattern. To give your tart an elegant presentation, fold the edges of the pastry into an eight-pointed star shape, creating a dramatic visual effect. Before baking the tart, brush it with egg yolk for a beautiful, shiny golden color after baking.
Bake the tart at 180°C for 35 to 40 minutes, until golden brown and the pastry is cooked through. For a glossy finish, brush the apricots with your choice of jam and sprinkle with icing sugar for a perfect presentation. This easy Oranaise tart is a real treat for the taste buds, and with its elegant appearance, it’s sure to impress your guests!
Easy Oranaise Tart: A Quick and Delicious Recipe
Ingredients:
1 sheet of puff pastry
8 apricots in syrup
245 grams of milk
75 grams of sugar
1 vanilla pod(s)
1 jam
2 + 1 egg yolk(s)
22 grams of cornstarch
1 icing sugar
To prepare the Easy Oranaise Tart, pour 225g of milk into a saucepan, add 40g of sugar and a vanilla pod split in half. Heat this mixture over medium heat until boiling, stirring well to dissolve the sugar. Meanwhile, in another bowl, whisk 35g of sugar with the egg yolks. Then add 20g of milk and the cornstarch, mixing well to avoid lumps. Once the milk is hot, slowly pour this mixture over the beaten eggs, stirring constantly to fully incorporate.
Return everything to the saucepan and thicken over low heat, stirring regularly. When the cream becomes thick and smooth, remove it from the heat, cover with plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator for at least two hours to reach the perfect consistency. This rich and creamy pastry cream will be the delicious base for your Oranaise tart.
For the pastry, I used Herta Trésor de Grand-Mère puff pastry, which gives the tart a light and airy texture. Roll out the pastry on a work surface, then cut an eight-pointed star pattern in the center. Place this pastry on a crown tart pan, ensuring the star is centered. Spread the cooled pastry cream generously over the pastry, making sure to spread it evenly over the entire surface.
Next, add 8 apricot halves in syrup, evenly distributed over the pastry cream. Next, fold the points of the star over the edge of the pastry, creating an elegant visual effect, similar to those seen in the header photos of gourmet recipes. To give the pastry a golden, shiny appearance, gently brush it with egg yolk using a pastry brush.
Bake your Oranaise tart in an oven preheated to 180°C (350°F) for approximately 35 to 40 minutes, until the pastry is golden brown and the pastry cream has taken on a beautiful color. Once baked, brush the apricots with your choice of jam to give them a nice shine. For a finishing touch, lightly dust the tart with icing sugar for a shimmering effect. You’ve got a simple, delicious, and visually impressive Oranaise tart!
