Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the tart crust by whisking together all-purpose flour, salt, and sugar. Cut in cold unsalted butter until resembling coarse crumbs. Add egg yolks and mix until dough forms. Chill for 30 minutes.
  2. Make the frangipane by whisking together finely ground pistachios, egg yolks, sugar, ground almonds, heavy cream, and pistachio extract until smooth. Set aside.
  3. Bake the crust at 350°F (180°C). Roll out chilled dough, transfer to tart pan, fill with frangipane, and bake for 40-45 minutes until golden brown.
  4. Cool the tart in the pan for about an hour, then remove and place on a serving platter.
  5. Top with fresh raspberries and sprinkle coarsely chopped pistachios for added texture.
