Ingredients

  • 0.3 teaspoon ground cardamom generous ()
  • 0.5 cup cup heavy whipping cream chilled
  • tablespoons honey divided
  • 8.8 ounce mascarpone cheese chilled
  • large navel oranges 
  • tablespoons pistachios chopped
  •  pie crust dough refrigerated
  • 0.3 cup sugar 

Equipment

  • bowl
  • frying pan
  • paper towels
  • oven
  • hand mixer
  • tart form

Directions

  1. To cool the crust quickly, place it on a rack, position a fan a few feet away (aiming toward the crust), and turn the fan on medium speed.
  2. Preheat oven to 400°F. Press pie crust onto bottom and up sides of 9-inch-diameter tart pan with removable bottom; fold sides in and press to extend sides 1/4 inch above rim of pan. Pierce crust all over with fork.
  3. Bake until golden brown, about 24 minutes. Cool completely on rack.
  4. Meanwhile, grate enough orange peel to measure 1 1/4 teaspoons.
  5. Cut off remaining peel and pith from oranges. Slice oranges into thin rounds, then cut rounds crosswise in half.
  6. Place orange slices on paper towels to drain slightly.
  7. Combine mascarpone, cream, sugar, 1 tablespoon honey, cardamom, and orange peel in medium bowl. Using electric mixer, beat just until blended and peaks form (do not overbeat or mixture will curdle).
  8. Spread filling evenly in cooled crust. Arrange orange slices atop tart in concentric circles; sprinkle with pistachios.
  9. Drizzle with remaining 1 tablespoon honey and serve.
