Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 (9 inch) baked pie crusts
2 cups whole milk
1 cinnamon stick
2 cardamom pods, slightly cracked
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
3 eggs, separated
1/3 cup cake flour
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/3 cup superfine sugar (regular sugar may be substituted)
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
whipped cream
ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • Measure three-quarters of the milk into a saucepan, add the cinnamon, cardamom, nutmeg and heat to just below boiling point. Set aside to infuse for about 15 minutes.
  • Mix together the remaining milk, egg yolks, flour,cornstarch, sugar and baking powder. Strain the spiced-flavoured milk, pour into a clean saucepan and cook, stirring, until the custard thickens. Remove from the heat, and whisk in the butter and vanilla. Cool to room temperature.
  • Whisk the egg white stiffly and fold into the custard. Pour into the pastry shell and bake in a preheated oven at 375°F and bake for about 20 minutes more, until the filling is set. Slide the hot tart onto a plate, sprinkle with ground cinnamon whipped cream and serve warm or chill to serve cold.
