Rich chewy tart with lotsa nuts, very impressive (and not all that complicated). You've seen these in restaurants. Cut teensy wedges and serve with espresso.

Ingredients
- Press-in Pastry:
- 2 c flour
- 6 T sugar
- 3/4 c butter
- 2 egg yolks
- Toffee-Nut filling:
- 1 1/2 c EACH whipping cream and sugar [this dessert is for real]
- 1/2 grated orange peel
- 1/4 t salt
- 2 c nuts--almonds, walnuts, or hazelnuts.
- If almonds, use sliced ones and add 1/4 t almond extract.
- If walnuts, use halves or large pieces.
- If hazelnuts, use whole ones or halves, skins removed.
Directions
- Prepare *Press-In Pastry*:
- Process or rub together first three ingredients,
- then add egg yolks
- and process until the dough holds together in a ball and runs on top of the blade.
- If necessary, add a few drops of milk.
- Press the dough evenly over the bottom and sides of an 11- to 12-inch fluted tart pan, or into several tart shells.
- Bake at 325degrees for ten minutes; color will still be very pale.
- Set aside while you prepare filling:
- In a 2- to 3-quart saucepan [it must be large; this stuff will boil UP], combine whipping cream, sugar, orange peel and salt.
- Bring to a boil over high heat, stirring occasionally.
- Reduce heat to medium and cook for 5 minutes, stirring often.
- Remove from heat and stir in chosen nuts.
- Pour nut mixture into *press-in pastry*.
- Bake in a 375 degree oven until lightly browned, about 35-40 minutes for a single large tart, about 20-25 for individual tarts.
- Remove from oven and let it stand at room temperature until just warm to the touch, then remove from the chosen pan and cool to room temperature.
- May be made up to a day ahead of time.
- [More than that, and you run the risk of eating it all up before you intended to serve it.]
