This holiday-worthy tart with a cardamom-scented crust is my nod to our family’s Scandinavian heritage. The filling is rich in all the right ways, with coconut, cranberries and chocolate. —Carole Holt, Mendota Heights, Minnesota

Ingredients
- 1-1/3 cups butter, softened
- 1-1/3 cups sugar
- 2 teaspoons grated orange zest
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 2-2/3 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 3/4 cup pistachios
- 1/2 cup fresh cranberries
- 3/4 cup sweetened shredded coconut
- 1/3 cup plus 1/2 cup 60% cacao bittersweet chocolate baking chips, divided
- 2/3 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 cup white baking chips
- Coarsely shredded orange zest, optional
Directions
- Preheat oven to 325°. Cream butter, sugar and orange zest until light and fluffy, 5-7 minutes. Beat in egg. Add flour and cardamom, mixing well. Divide dough in half. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, pulse pistachios in a food processor until finely chopped; remove. Repeat with cranberries. For filling, in a small bowl combine the chopped cranberries, coconut, 1/3 cup bittersweet chocolate chips, milk and 1/3 cup chopped pistachios.
- Press half the dough onto bottom and 1/4 in. up side of a greased 9-in. springform pan. Spread cranberry mixture over dough. Between sheets of waxed paper, roll remaining dough into a 9-in. circle. Remove top sheet of paper. Gently flip dough and place over pistachio filling; remove remaining paper. Press dough around edge to seal. Place pan on a 15x10-in. rimmed baking pan.
- Bake until golden brown, 50-60 minutes. Cool in pan 15 minutes. Loosen side from pan with a knife; cool completely. Remove rim from pan. Microwave white baking chips on high until melted, stirring every 30 seconds; remove. Repeat with remaining 1/2 cup bittersweet chips. Drizzle tart with white and bittersweet melted chocolate. Sprinkle with remaining 1/3 cup chopped pistachios and, if desired, shredded orange zest.
