Sweet and sour flavors are one of my favorite combinations in cooking. Lately, though, I’ve grown a bit tired of eating mandarins on their own. With a few kilograms still sitting in my kitchen, I decided it was time to get creative. That’s how this mandarin cake came to life. A delicious way to give these citrusy gems a fresh twist!
Ingredients
For the crust
- 250gof shortbread cookies
- 150gof melted butter
- pinchof salt
For the filling
- 4large egg yolks
- 1canof sweetened condensed milk
- 125gof mandarin juice
- 1tbspof mandarin zest
How to make Mandarin Cake
Crust
Preheat the oven to 180°C (convection mode).
Grind the cookies into crumbs and transfer them to a bowl. Add the melted butter and mix thoroughly.
Press the buttery crumbs into a baking tin, using a glass to compact them, making sure to form edges as well!
Place the crust in the oven for 15 minutes.
Filling
Whisk the yolks with the mandarin juice and zest. Add the condensed milk and mix everything thoroughly with a whisk. Be careful not to overwhip it, otherwise, the filling may bubble. While this isn’t a problem, it might not look as smooth.
Pour the filling into the hot crust and return it to the oven for 17–18 minutes. The center of the tart should still jiggle slightly when done.
Let the tart cool, then refrigerate it for at least 3 hours or overnight.
Tips & Tricks
Press your crust firmly to prevent the filling from soaking into it.
Double the filling if the diameter of your baking dish is large
