Ingredients: For the shell: 1.5 cups all-purpose flour, 6 Tbsp cold unsalted butter (cubed), 2 Tbsp confectioners' sugar, 1 egg yolk, 2 Tbsp cold water, pinch of salt; For the filling: 1/2 cup unsalted butter, 1/2 cup lucuma powder (or substitute with 2 Tbsp dulce de leche + 1/4 cup sweetened condensed milk), 3 egg yolks, 1/4 cup heavy cream, 2 Tbsp whole milk, 1 tsp vanilla extract, 2 Tbsp brown sugar, pinch of salt; For the brittle: 1/4 cup sesame seeds, 1/4 cup sugar, 1 Tbsp light corn syrup, 1 Tbsp unsalted butter, 1/4 tsp fleur de sel; For candied ají: 1 Tbsp ají amarillo paste, 1 Tbsp sugar, 1 tsp water

An ambitious but achievable dessert: a blind-baked tart shell filled with a silky lucuma-and-brown-butter custard (lucuma brings subtle, almost maple-like sweetness), topped with a delicate sesame brittle and finished with a candied ají amarillo chili crisps for an unexpected savory-sweet conclusion.
