First, what is "gelatte?" I didn't know either. Gelatte is a French flaky pastry dessert. And a very yummy dessert.
I found this recipe in a Pilsbury cookbook, but didn't like some things in it, so I changed it around a bit. I'm posting my version of the recipe.
Ingredients:
1 refrigerated pie crust(or you can make your own)
1 1/2 cups walnuts
1/2 cup sugar
1 large egg
1 tablespoon milk
1/2 cup strawberry preserve(or jam)
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1 tablespoon cornstarch
Start Cooking:
1. heat oven to 400. Put the pie crust in a ungreased 9 or 10 inch pie plate.
2. Put walnuts and sugar in a food processor and pulse until nuts are finely chopped. Add egg and milk, process until thick paste forms. Spread in bottom of pie crust. Wipe out food processor.
3. Put preserves, lemon juice, ginger and cornstarch in food processor, pulse until smooth. Spread over walnut mixture.
4. Fold edges of pie crust over the filling. Bake 20-30 minutes, until crust is golden brown.
Hints and Tips:
1. Don't like walnuts? Use almonds!
2. Don't like strawberry? Use another flavor of jam!
3. Ground ginger tip: get some ginger root from the grocery store and freeze it. Then use a micro plane to ground the amount you need. Freezing the ginger makes it easier to ground up with the micro plane and also keeps it fresh for longer.
Enjoy!
