HEART TART RECIPE For ages I’ve wanted to make a recipe with rhubarb but I can’t find it in Bologna, neither cooked nor raw. When my son went for a weekend to Pinzolo in the province of Trento, I insisted he find a preserve with this ingredient, and finally, I have a rhubarb and strawberry preserve that’s not just good but much, much better!!!Today, taking advantage of the slightly unstable weather, I locked myself in the kitchen, turned on the oven, and prepared this delightful heart tart. I confess I spent more time making the little hearts with the mold than the rest of the recipe, but I wanted it to be this way, and I think I did a good job in the end!
The shortcrust pastry is the base of many pastry preparations, and already in the 18th century, a similar dough was used initially for savory dishes like meat pies and timbales.
The proportions of the various ingredients can vary, giving a different note to the dessert because more butter will give more crumbliness, more sugar will give more crunchiness.
Yeast is generally not added, and if so, only to give more softness to the shortcrust.
It is necessary to be very quick in kneading the ingredients because even the heat from your hands could ruin the preparation.
The shortcrust pastry dough can be flavored with lemon zest, orange zest, cinnamon, vanilla; it can be stored in the refrigerator for 2/3 days well-protected by cling film and even frozen in the freezer.
The tart is then a simple rustic dessert but always appreciated, and today it will be our sweet treat…

Preparation HEART TART RECIPE
On the worktop, work the butter in pieces until it softens, then add the sugar, mixing well with a spatula. Add the egg yolks one at a time, always blending the mixture.
Sift the flour and add the grated zest of the untreated lemon.
Knead quickly with the flour and form a dough that, protected by cling film, should rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
After the time has passed, roll out the shortcrust pastry between two sheets of parchment paper and place it in the pan: for me, a 8.7-inch mold with a removable bottom.
Trim the edges and proceed to fill the heart tart.
Pour the jam and create the decoration you prefer with the rest of the shortcrust pastry: I made a lot of little hearts both on the edge and inside as you see from the photo.
Bake in a preheated oven at 340°F for about 40 minutes or depending on your oven’s characteristics. Let it cool and enjoy this simple heart tart!
Enjoy your meal!
