- 150grams ready-to-eat prunes
- 3tablespoons brandy
- 250grams ready-made shortcrust pastry, preferably all-butter
- 1tablespoons plain flour (to dust)
- 5 large egg yolks
- 50grams caster sugar
- 1 1/4 cup double cream
- 1/2teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 pinch grated nutmeg
- 1tablespoons icing sugar (to dust)
Method
Step 1 of 2
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Soak the prunes in the brandy. Roll the pastry out on a lightly floured surface and use to line the tart tin. Trim off any excess around the edges, then line the pastry case with baking parchment and ceramic baking beans. Bake for 20 minutes, then remove the parchment and beans and return to the oven for 5 minutes to dry the pastry out. Set to one side while you make the filling. Turn the oven down to 150°C.
Step 2 of 2
Put the egg yolks and sugar in a mixing bowl and stir together until well combined. Heat the cream, vanilla extract, and nutmeg in a pan until almost boiling, then whisk into the egg yolk mixture. Strain into the pastry case and scatter over the soaked prunes. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until just set - the tart should wobble slightly in the centre when you shake the tin. Remove from the oven and leave to cool, then chill until ready to serve. Dust with icing sugar before serving.
