Pistachio Cherry Tart



I love reminiscing about friends--especially lifelong ones. So when I was recently going through my photo stack, I couldn't help but think about my friend B who I went to pastry school with in Paris. We loved this tea house I lived close to called Mamie Gateaux that had the most amazing desserts and ambiance. Among my favorites was a Pistachio Cherry Tart that was out of this world. I couldn't resist trying to replicate it today. For the crust, I used a sweet pastry dough. For the filling, I made an almond cream with pistachio paste and dried cherries. Such a great flavor combination. Such good memories!
