Ingredients

For the Biscoff Cookie Crust

For the Blood Orange Curd

  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 3 eggs (large)
  • 1 egg yolk (large)
  • 1/2 cup blood orange juice (juice of 4 blood oranges)
  • 1/4 cup blood orange zest (zest of 2 blood oranges)
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (1/2 stick) cold, cubed

Instructions

Prepare the Biscoff cookie crusts:

  • Cream the first three cookie crust ingredients in the bowl of an electric mixer.
  • Add the egg and the salt.
  • Mix in the flour and cornstarch until incorporated.
  • Roll to ⅛" thickness, between two sheets of parchment paper.
  • Cut rounds with a cookie cutter and press into the wells of a muffin tin.
  • Prick with the tines of a fork, and bake in a 375 degree oven, for 5 minutes.

Prepare the Blood Orange Curd:

  • In a glass or metal bowl, whisk the sugar, cornstarch, and salt together to combine.
  • Add the eggs, yolks, juice, and zest.
  • Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water, and whisk, continuously, until mixture thickens and becomes opaque.
  • Remove from heat, and whisk in the butter, a tablespoon at a time.
  • Pour the mixture through a fine mesh strainer, into a spouted glass measure, and fill the partially baked tart shells.
  • Bake the tarts for 8 minutes, or until set, at 350 degrees.
