Let’s prepare the shortcrust pastry. Place the three eggs, 120 grams of granulated sugar and 80 ml of extra virgin olive oil in a stand mixer and begin mixing.
Add the vanilla sachet, a pinch of salt, and 380 grams of sifted white flour with a sachet of baking powder, incorporating everything little by little.
Once we have a smooth dough, transfer it to the work surface and roll it out with a rolling pin until it is about 4 mm thick.
Place the pastry in a tart pan lined with baking paper, trim away any excess pastry, and poke holes in the bottom with the prongs of a fork.
Cover with a sheet of parchment paper and add some dried beans as weight. Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 20 minutes.
After the indicated time, remove the beans and baking paper and put back in the oven at 180 degrees for another 5 minutes, until golden brown.
For the cream, heat the oil in a saucepan. Once hot, remove from the heat and add the sugar, orange juice, lemon zest, and a pinch of ginger.
Beat the egg yolks until creamy and add the oil mixture. Return the mixture to the heat, stirring constantly until it reaches a boil.
Pour the cream onto the shortcrust pastry shell and decorate with grapes as desired.
