Tamarind & Lemon Tart with Salted Peanut Praline

This tart is delicious because it has the sour sweetness of tamarind and lemon and the crunchy goodness of salted peanut praline.

Ingredients:

• For the tart shell:
• 150g digestive biscuits
• 75g unsalted butter, melted
• For the filling:
• 200g condensed milk
• 100ml double cream
• 3 tbsp tamarind paste
• Zest and juice of 2 lemons
• For the salted peanut praline:
• 100g peanuts, roughly chopped
• 100g caster sugar
• 1/2 tsp sea salt flakes

Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 180C 350F

Crush the digestive biscuits into fine crumbs and mix with melted butter

Press into a tart tin and bake for 10 minutes

Allow to cool

In a bowl, whisk together condensed milk, double cream, tamarind paste, lemon zest, and lemon juice until smooth

Pour the filling into the cooled tart shell and bake for 15 minutes until just set

Allow to cool completely

In a dry saucepan, toast the peanuts over medium heat until golden brown

Sprinkle the caster sugar into the pan with the peanuts and allow it to melt and caramelize, stirring occasionally

Once the sugar has melted and turned golden, quickly stir in the sea salt flakes, then pour the praline onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper

Allow to cool and harden

Break the praline into small pieces and scatter over the cooled tart before serving
