Instructions

1. Prepare the Rose Petals

   • Begin by washing and drying the rose petals thoroughly. It’s important to ensure they are edible and organic, as non-edible roses might have been treated with chemicals.
   • Next, brush each petal with lightly beaten egg white. This will help the sugar stick to the petals.
   • After brushing, sprinkle the petals with a fine coating of sugar and spread them out on a sheet of greased parchment paper. Allow the petals to dry completely. This step can take up to several hours or can be prepared the night before to allow the petals to fully crisp up.

2. Preheat the Oven

   • Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F) to get it ready for blind baking the tart shell.

3. Roll Out the Puff Pastry

   • While your oven is preheating, roll out the puff pastry until it becomes very thin, aiming for a thickness of around 2-3 mm. Place the rolled-out pastry into a heart-shaped buttered ovenproof dish.
   • Leave an outer edge of about 2 cm (1 inch) and fold the edge inward to create a decorative border.

4. Prepare the Pastry Shell

   • Prick the bottom of the puff pastry shell with a fork to prevent puffing. Place the dish into the refrigerator for 15 minutes to chill and firm up the pastry.

5. Blind Bake the Tart Shell

   • After chilling, remove the dish from the fridge and blind bake the pastry shell in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are slightly golden but not fully browned. You can use baking beans or parchment paper filled with uncooked rice to keep the pastry from rising in the center.

6. Prepare the Filling

   • While the tart shell is baking, whip the yoghurt in a medium bowl until smooth. Add the egg yolk, rose water, and 2 tbsp of sugar to the yoghurt and mix until combined.
   • In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Fold the whipped cream gently into the yoghurt mixture, being careful not to deflate the cream too much. This will create a light and airy filling.

7. Bake the Tart

   • Once the pastry shell is blind-baked, pour the yoghurt-cream mixture into the shell.
   • Reduce the oven temperature to 180°C (350°F) and bake the tart for an additional 20 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is slightly golden.

8. Cool and Set the Tart

   • Remove the tart from the oven and allow it to cool to room temperature. Once cooled, transfer the tart to the fridge and let it chill until it is completely set, about 2-3 hours.

9. Decorate with Sugared Rose Petals

   • Once the tart is fully set, carefully arrange the sugared rose petals on top as a beautiful garnish. These delicate petals will add a lovely crunch and visual appeal to your dessert.

10. Serve and Enjoy!

• Slice the tart into portions and serve chilled. Each bite offers a delightful balance of creamy, floral, and crispy textures, making it a treat for both the palate and the eyes.

Optional Variations:

• Flavored Yoghurt: For an added twist, you can use flavored yoghurt in place of plain. Vanilla, coconut, or even pineapple-flavored yoghurt will work beautifully with the subtle rose essence.
• Floral Variations: Try experimenting with other edible flowers like lavender or hibiscus for different flavor profiles.
• Fresh Fruit Topping: Add fresh raspberries, strawberries, or blueberries to the top of the tart for a fruity contrast that pairs wonderfully with the rose flavor.

Helpful Tips for Success:

• Choosing Rose Petals: Make sure the rose petals you use are organic and edible. You can find edible flowers in some specialty food stores, farmers’ markets, or even grow your own if you’re up for it!
• Blind Baking: Blind baking ensures your puff pastry remains crisp and doesn’t become soggy when the filling is added. Don’t skip this step, especially when working with a moist filling like this one.
• Whipping Cream: Be careful when folding the whipped cream into the yoghurt mixture. Overmixing will deflate the air bubbles that create a light, creamy texture.

This Rose Petal Tart is sure to make any occasion extra special. Whether you’re preparing it for a romantic dinner, a Mother’s Day treat, or simply indulging yourself, its delicate flavors and stunning presentation will leave a lasting impression.
