A Neenish tart is a type of tart originating from Australia. It is characterized by its distinctive half-and-half icing, typically in contrasting colors such as pink and white or brown and white. The tart is filled with a mixture of jam and cream, and it is encased in a shortcrust pastry shell.
History[edit | edit source]
The origin of the Neenish tart is somewhat unclear, but it is believed to have been created in the early 20th century. The name "Neenish" is thought to be a corruption of the word "Viennese," although there is no definitive evidence to support this theory.
Ingredients[edit | edit source]
The traditional Neenish tart consists of the following components:
- Pastry shell: A shortcrust pastry base that provides a crisp texture.
- Jam: Typically, a layer of raspberry or strawberry jam is spread on the base.
- Cream: A mixture of butter, icing sugar, and sometimes condensed milk, which is spread over the jam.
- Icing: The tart is topped with two contrasting colors of icing, often pink and white or brown and white.
Variations[edit | edit source]
There are several variations of the Neenish tart, including:
- **Chocolate Neenish tart**: Uses chocolate icing instead of the traditional pink and white.
- **Lemon Neenish tart**: Incorporates lemon flavoring into the cream filling and icing.
- **Mock cream Neenish tart**: Uses a mock cream filling made from butter, sugar, and milk instead of the traditional cream mixture.
Cultural Significance[edit | edit source]
The Neenish tart is a popular treat in Australia and is often found in bakeries and cafes. It is also a common item at bake sales and afternoon tea gatherings.
