- 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions
Prepare the Pastry Crust:
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour and salt.
- Add cold butter and confectioners' sugar; use a pastry blender or your fingers to work until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually pour in ice-cold water while gently stirring with a fork until dough comes together in a ball.
- Wrap dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Prepare the Pistachio and Raspberry Custard:
- In a medium saucepan, combine heavy cream, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, pistachio paste, and raspberry jam.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until sugar has dissolved and mixture is hot but not boiling.
- Remove from heat; stir in egg yolks.
- Strain mixture into a clean bowl to ensure even texture.
Assemble the Tart:
- Roll out chilled pastry dough on a lightly floured surface to a thickness of about 1/8 inch (3 mm).
- Transfer dough to a 9-inch (23 cm) tart pan with a removable bottom.
- Pour pistachio and raspberry custard into prepared pastry crust.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes or until edges are golden brown and center is set.
Caramelize Sugar:
- Sprinkle a thin layer of granulated sugar over the top of the baked tart.
- Caramelize with a kitchen torch, or place under broiler for 30 seconds to 1 minute, watching closely to avoid burning.
Serve
- Allow tart to cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
- Refrigerate any leftovers and serve chilled.
