Ingredients:
For the crust:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cut into small pieces
- 1 egg yolk
- 1/4 cup pistachios, finely chopped
For the filling:
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
- 1/4 cup fresh orange juice
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- 1/4 cup pistachios, finely chopped
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, powdered sugar, and chilled butter. Use a pastry cutter or your hands to mix the ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse sand.
3. Add the egg yolk and pistachios to the mixture and mix until the dough comes together.
4. Press the dough into a 9-inch tart pan, making sure to press it up the sides of the pan.
5. Bake the crust for 15-20 minutes, or until it's lightly golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool.

7. Remove the mixture from the heat and stir in the butter until it's melted and fully incorporated.
8. Pour the filling into the cooled crust and sprinkle the top with the remaining pistachios.
9. Chill the tart in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until the filling is set.
