Zosia from Toronto, ON
Creamsicles have always been one of my favourite frozen treats and this tart captures the flavours perfectly….a buttery cookie crust filled with a tart orange curd made with orange cream soda(!), topped with cool, whipped cream.
Like most tarts, this has a few components but the work can be spread out over a few days. The crust is a standard sugar cookie crust with some added orange rind. The dough is easy to make and work with and I followed the authors’ suggestion to coat the baked crust with melted white chocolate before filling to prevent it from getting soggy – this tip worked beautifully. The curd is made using a standard method, though it does start with a reduction of cream soda and orange juice. I used agar agar instead of gelatin to stabilize it. A swirl of lightly sweetened whipped cream flavoured with the soda is the finishing touch.
Creamy and refreshing…this is one of my favourite tarts!
