Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine all-purpose flour and powdered sugar.
  3. Cut the cubed butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Incorporate the egg yolk and cold water; mix gently until the dough begins to form.
  5. Press the dough into a tart pan, ensuring it covers the base and sides evenly.
  6. Prick the base of the crust with a fork to prevent bubbles.
  7. Chill the crust in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool completely.
Filling Preparation
  1. In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream with granulated sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
  2. Gently fold in the pink food coloring without deflating the whipped cream.
Assembly
  1. Spoon the whipped filling into the cooled tart crust and spread evenly.
  2. Decorate with fresh edible flowers and dust lightly with powdered sugar.
  3. Let the tart chill in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours before serving.

Notes

Chill your ingredients for a flakier crust. Don’t overmix when forming the dough and whipping the cream. Experiment with flavors by adding almond extract or lemon zest.
