We suggest our Caffè Aiello Classic blend for this specific recipe. Its chocolate notes will pair perfectly with the tart’s flavours. You can prepare the coffee both with a stovetop moka or a Nespresso machine using our compatible capsules.
The method
- Whisk the butter together with the sugar
- Add in the eggs and the flour little by little while constantly mixing

- Once the dough is ready, cover it and let it rest in the fridge for 30 mts
- Now it’s the filling time: whisk together the sugar and the egg to get a fluffy mixture
- Pour in the coffee and the milk little bu little
- Add the flour (previously sifted) and mix all together.
- Pour the everything in a saucepan and cook at a low heat for 5 minutes
- Grease the cake mould, roll out the dough (leave a little piece aside for later decorations) and place it in the mould. Use a fork to make small holes all over the dough in the mould.
- Pour the cream in it and spread it evenly
- With the dough you save make thin stripes and decorate the top of the tart with a net-like pattern.
- Pre-heat the oven and bake the tart at 350F for 30 to 40 minutes
