Торта делла Нонна

Cold from the fridge, the custard sets firm and the pine nuts go toasted and bitter against it.

• Custard, thick enough to hold a slice.
• Pine nuts, scattered over the top and baked.
• Shortcrust, rolled thin and blind-baked.
• Lemon zest, grated into the custard.
• Powdered sugar, dusted at the pass.

A torta della Nonna is a custard tart with a lid, the kind Italian grandmothers made when there were eggs and a lemon in the house. Ours is baked in the morning and chilled, so the custard slices clean instead of running. Vegetarian. Contains: dairy, nuts, eggs.
