Crostata alla Confettura - Jam Tart
My favorite restaurant in NYC serves a similar jam tart with rich, dark chocolate gelato. I've now figured out how to mostly replicate this delicacy so I don't have to deal with fighting for a reservation. It's pretty flexible with different jams, too, and I regularly serve it with blackberry jam and lime zest. The original recipe from dolcidifranci.com uses apricot jam.
I'm showcasing the method I use most often, for predictable and consistent results. I hope this also becomes your new signature dessert for year-round entertaining!
