Instructions

1. Prepare the Candied Oranges:

  • In a large pot, combine water and granulated sugar; bring to a simmer.

  • Remove slices, pat dry, and lightly sprinkle with granulated sugar.

2. Make the Graham Cracker Crust:

  • Mix in flour, graham cracker crumbs, salt, baking powder, and cinnamon until dough forms.
  • Add milk and mix until combined.
  • Wrap dough in plastic wrap; chill for at least 30 minutes.
  • Roll out dough on parchment paper to fit a 14″ x 5″ tart pan.
  • Transfer dough to pan, press into place, trim excess, and prick the bottom with a fork.
  • Bake at 350°F (175°C) with pie weights for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown.

3. Prepare the Champagne Filling:

  • In a small bowl, combine unflavored gelatin with cold water; let it bloom.
  • In a saucepan, mix champagne, orange zest, and granulated sugar; heat until just simmering, then remove from heat.
  • Microwave gelatin for 10 seconds; whisk into the warm champagne mixture until smooth.
  • Let the mixture cool to room temperature until it begins to set.
  • Whip heavy cream and powdered sugar to stiff peaks; fold in the champagne mixture gently.

4. Assemble the Tart:

  • Arrange candied orange slices on top.
  • Refrigerate for 3-4 hours until set.
