Key Ingredients

• All-purpose flour, unsalted butter, icing sugar, eggs, walnuts, brown sugar, heavy cream, vanilla extract, sea salt

Quick-Made Recipe

1. Combine flour, cold diced butter, icing sugar, and a pinch of salt; rub until crumbly, then bind with egg yolk and chilled water to form shortcrust pastry; rest in the fridge.
2. Roll out the chilled pastry and line a tart tin; blind-bake with weights until lightly golden.
3. Toast walnuts lightly, then simmer brown sugar, cream, butter, vanilla, and sea salt to a thick caramel; stir in toasted walnuts.
4. Pour the warm walnut-caramel filling into the pre-baked shell and bake at 180°C until set but slightly wobbly in the center.
5. Cool completely, then serve at room temperature with a dusting of icing sugar or whipped cream.

The Walnut Tart is a beloved staple at Avayacafe that demonstrates our commitment to using the best natural ingredients and artisanal baking. The filling consists of liberally toasted walnuts folded into a house-made caramel enhanced with fresh cream and a sprinkle of sea salt to heighten the nutty sweetness. Our pastry chefs create the shortcrust by hand using premium European-style butter for great flakiness and flavor. Each tart is baked to golden perfection, presenting a thick, chewy core beneath a glossy top that splits delightfully under a fork. When presented in sophisticated pieces, it is a perfect match for our signature coffees; try it with an Americano to highlight the walnut richness or a cappuccino for a harmonic balance. This tart appeals to people who value elegant simplicity and is ideal as a post-meal dessert, afternoon pleasure, or thoughtful gift from our pastry counter.
