Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams All-purpose flour
- 115 grams Unsalted butter (cold, diced)
- 50 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 large Egg yolk
- 2 tablespoons Ice water
- 100 grams Almond flour
- 75 grams Powdered sugar
- 100 grams Unsalted butter (softened)
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 200 grams Fresh blackberries
- 30 grams Slivered almonds (optional, for topping)
- 2 tablespoons Apricot jam (optional, for glaze)
- 1 teaspoon Water (optional, for glaze)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F).
In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and granulated sugar. Add the cold, diced unsalted butter and use your fingers or a pastry cutter to incorporate until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Add the egg yolk and ice water to the flour mixture, stirring until the dough comes together. Form it into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
While the dough chills, prepare the almond filling. In a bowl, cream together the softened butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the egg, almond flour, and vanilla extract to the creamed butter and sugar mixture. Mix until smooth and set aside.
After the dough has chilled, roll it out on a lightly floured surface to fit a 9-inch tart pan. Gently press the dough into the pan, trimming any excess from the edges.
Spread the almond filling evenly over the tart shell.
Arrange the fresh blackberries on top of the almond filling, pressing them slightly into the filling to secure them.
Optionally, sprinkle slivered almonds on top for added crunch.
Bake the tart in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the almond filling has set.
If desired, prepare a glaze by warming the apricot jam and water in a small saucepan over low heat. Brush the glaze over the tart while still warm for a shiny finish.
Allow the tart to cool completely before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
