Method
- Vegan Pistachio Cake
Mix all the ingredients with a flat beater at slow speed for 1 minute, then 3 minutes at medium speed.
- Vegan Pistachio Cake
Fill oblong tart rings with a thin layer of vegan pistachio batter and bake at 180°C for approximately 15 minutes, depending on the oven.
- Vegan Pistachio Cake
Once cooled, brush with a little light sugar syrup.
- Vegan Shortcrust Layers
Mix all the ingredients with a flat beater at slow speed until you obtain a homogeneous dough.
- Vegan Shortcrust Layers
Roll out the dough to a thin layer and use the same oblong tart ring to cut the shortcrust. You will need 1 layer for each tart.
- Vegan Shortcrust Layers
Bake the pre-cut shortcrust layers at 180°C for approximately 10 minutes, depending on the oven.
- Pistachio Crumble Layer
Mix all the ingredients with a flat beater at slow speed until crumble forms. Leave it in the fridge to cool down.
- Pistachio Crumble Layer
Mould a thin layer in the oblong tart rings and then sprinkle a little ground pistachio on top. Bake at 160°C for approximately 10 minutes, depending on the oven.
- Pistachio cream
Place vegetable cream and ground pistachios in a bowl and whip with a whisk until the mixture reaches piping consistency.
Assembly: Start with the shortcrust pastry layer at the bottom. Spread it with a little Dawn® Lemon Delicream and place the vegan cake layer on top.
Assembly: With the help of a pastry bag, pipe Dawn® Lemon Delicream dollops along the sides of the cake layer.
Assembly: Place a sheet of the crumble with pistachios on top of the Delicream.
Assembly: Place the pistachio cream in a piping bag and pipe small dollops onto the crumble layer. Place another sheet of crumble with pistachios on top of the cream.
Assembly: To finish off, pipe a bit of the pistachio cream to one end of the second crumble layer and sprinkle chopped pistachios on top.
