Method
 

Preparation
  1. Prepare the Tart Crust: Start by rolling out your tart dough and gently pressing it into a tart pan. Chill the crust in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to firm it up and prevent shrinking during baking.
  2. Pre-bake the Crust: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the chilled crust in the preheated oven until it turns lightly golden brown, which should take about 10-15 minutes. Keep an eye on it so it doesn't overbake!
  3. Make the Custard Filling: In a mixing bowl, whisk together heavy cream, egg yolks, granulated sugar, and freshly ground cardamom until the mixture is smooth and well combined. This step is crucial for a creamy texture!
  4. Fill the Crust: Carefully pour the velvety custard mixture into your pre-baked tart crust, ensuring an even layer for the best presentation during serving.
  5. Bake: Return the tart to the oven and bake for approximately 25-30 minutes, or until the custard is just set but still slightly wobbly in the center. This will ensure a perfect texture!
  6. Cool and Serve: Once baked, allow the tart to cool completely before slicing. For the best flavor, chill the tart in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving.
