Method

Pastry Base

  • Grease a (24cm top/22cm base/3 ½cm deep) tart tin with removable base.
  • Place one sheet of pastry on a sheet of baking paper. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon sugar. Top with remaining pastry (offset) and sprinkle with remaining sugar. Roll pastry between two sheets of baking paper until large enough to line tin.
  • Carefully lift pastry into tin and press into sides; trim edges. Press pastry into fluted sides to raise above rim slightly to allow for shrinkage.
  • Preheat oven to 180C (fan-forced). Place tin on an oven tray; line tin with baking paper, then fill with baking beans. Bake for 20 minutes then remove beans and paper. Pierce base with a fork. Cook for a further 15 minutes, or until golden. Cool. Reduce heat to 160C (fan-forced).

Filling

  • Place the sour cream and sugar in a large bowl and whisk until smooth. Add eggs, rind, juice and vanilla in a bowl and whisk together until well combined.
  • Pour mixture into prepared pastry case and bake in oven for about 40 minutes, or until filling is just set. Cool in tin then refrigerate.
  • Decorate with orange slices and dust with icing sugar. Serve with whipped cream.

Tips & Hints:

  • Dehydrated orange slices are available from most large supermarkets or gourmet fruit stores.
