Receta Macadamia Nut Tarts with Golden Syrup Ice Cream
by Belly Rumbles

I love baking. The smells warm the house and the heart. These macadamia nut tarts definitely do that. The tart shells are made from ground ginger nut biscuits and macadamia nut meal, they have warmth and spice. The filling flavour is a combination of buttery macadamia nuts, golden syrup, vanilla and orange zest.

You will have a smile on your face from the moment they come out of the oven until they dance across your taste buds. The golden syrup ice cream is perfect for these tarts; enhancing their decadent filling and spicy ginger shells.

The smell of something baking would have to be one of my strongest food memories. Coming home after school to a house filled with baking smells thrilled me. It didn’t happen all the time, but when it did I was one happy kid. Images of what it could be filled my head as I ventured down the hall to discover what baked treat was waiting in the kitchen.

CSR Brown sugar and golden syrup were (and still are) staples in my mother’s kitchen, just like they are in mine. They add a warmth and richness to sweet baked treats that just can’t be obtained by other sugars or modern day alternatives. Brown sugar even makes its way into some of my savoury dishes when I want to introduce a deep caramel flavour.

Since 1855 generations of Australians have been baking with CSR sugars and syrups. Did you know that this year CSR will celebrate the brand’s 160th birthday?

I have developed these macadamia nut tarts with golden syrup ice cream not only to celebrate CSR’s 160th birthday, but to also announce CSR’s ‘Made for Memories’ Cookbook competition.

The ‘Made for Memories’ Cookbook will be filled with delicious recipes by Australians like you – recipes that have a story, a memory. In fact you have the chance to have one of your recipes included in the cookbook. Plus there is a major prize for the top three recipes. A trip to Melbourne to see your recipe brought to life by a food stylist and a Magimix Patissier.

Maybe a recipe passed down to you by your grandmother, or something your mother use to cook that you continue to do so for your family. Maybe it is even a recipe that your dad made that has importance to you. You will find details on how to enter further down this post.

Even though mum never actually made these macadamia nut tarts, the ingredients used and the memories they have for me are how I came up with them. Ginger nut biscuits because they are something I grew up with and a favourite. The sugars because they are staples and featured in my childhood dishes, and of course baking, a very strong happy memory.

The ice cream? Well that actually is a memory recipe I added in because of Josh. Mum never made her own ice cream, but it is something that I do. And there are never any straightforward flavours in this household. You may have seen recipes on Belly Rumbles for vegemite ice cream or hot cross bun ice cream in the past. Playing around with ice cream flavours is something that Josh loves me doing.

Golden syrup flavoured ice cream isn’t a flavour that I have come across before and thought it would be perfect to accompany these tarts. In fact the ice cream is certain to become a winter favourite in this household. Perfect to accompany warm winter puddings and tarts.

Golden Syrup Ice Cream Total time 3 hours 30 mins Golden Syrup Ice Cream goes perfectly with my macadamia nut tarts recipe, but will be absolutely brilliant with wintery puddings and other tarts. Author: Sara McCleary Recipe type: Ice Cream & Popsicles Cuisine: Australian Serves: 600ml Ingredients

600ml cream 100ml milk 1 vanilla bean 40g CSR Demerara sugar 2 eggs 2 egg yolks 75ml CSR golden syrup Instructions

Place cream, milk, split and scraped vanilla bean and demerara sugar in a heavy based saucepan. Over a medium heat stir until sugar has dissolved. Once sugar has dissolved quickly bring mixture to rapid boil and then remove from the heat. Whisk eggs and egg yolks in a medium bowl, then whisk in the golden syrup. Add a small amount of the cream mixture and whisk in. Gradually incorporate the rest of the cream mixture with the egg mixture. Return the mixture to the saucepan and return to heat. Over a low heat, and stirring continuously, cook the mixture until it thickens and will coat the back of a spoon. You know it is ready when you can draw a line across the back of the spoon with your finger and the line stays there. Strain mixture into a bowl or jug, and place in the fridge to chill.
