Carnival Crumble Tart with Amaretti and Pistachio Cream, known in Italy as Sbriciolata di Carnevale con Amaretti e Crema al Pistacchio, is a festive dessert traditionally enjoyed during the Carnival season. Made with a buttery crumb base and topping, a rich pistachio cream filling and the unmistakable flavour of crushed amaretti, this tart is indulgent, fragrant and irresistibly Italian. Perfect served at the end of a meal or with a cup of coffee, it’s a celebration of classic Italian baking with a Carnival twist.
