Ingredients
Crust
- 100g salted butter, chopped into small cubes
- 1 egg
- 185 grams AP flour
- 55 grams almond meal
- 60 grams powdered sugar
- 40 grams sesame
Filling
- One can (312g) poppyseed filling
- 100 grams halva
- 70 grams tahini
- 5 grams yemen spice
- 200 grams date paste
- Optional 10 grams vinegar
Directions
- In a food processor pulse together butter, flour, almond meal, and powdered sugar until you get a coarse sand consistency. Add the egg and sesame and work lightly until you get a rough dough. Press this into a 9 inch tart pan, coming about 1 inch up the sides if your pan is deep.
- Mix all the ingredients together for your filling and spoon into the tart shell.
- Bake at 350°F 35 minutes. Filling will be slightly liquid when the bake is done, and will set up when the tart cools.
- Serve as is or with a dusting of powdered sugar.
