Place a piece of parchment paper over the crusts and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove the parchment paper and weights, and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes until the crust is fully set. Let the tart shells cool completely.
2. Prepare the Pistachio Cream Filling
While the crusts cool, make the pistachio cream filling. In a food processor, blend the pistachios until finely ground (but not a paste). Add the heavy cream, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, cream cheese, and mascarpone cheese. Process until smooth and well combined. Taste and add honey for extra sweetness if desired.
Once the mixture is smooth and creamy, transfer the filling into a bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up before filling the tart shells.
3. Assemble the Tarts
Once the tart crusts have cooled and the pistachio cream is chilled, carefully spoon or pipe the pistachio cream into each tart shell. Smooth the top with a spatula, creating a slight dome in the center.
4. Add the Toppings
Top each tart with a generous amount of fresh blackberries. Arrange them in a pattern that appeals to you—either clustered together or scattered evenly for a more rustic look.
For an extra pop of color and flavor, sprinkle some crushed pistachios on top and drizzle a little honey over the berries for added shine and sweetness.
5. Serve and Enjoy
These tarts are best served chilled, so place them back in the fridge for about 30 minutes before serving to allow everything to set perfectly. Once ready, serve them as the showstopping dessert at your dinner party, or enjoy them as a special treat after a delicious meal.
