Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams all-purpose flour
- 120 grams unsalted butter
- 100 grams granulated sugar
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons cold water
- 200 grams ground almonds
- 150 milliliters heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- 50 grams sliced almonds
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit).
In a large bowl, combine the flour, 60 grams of sugar, and salt. Cut in the 120 grams of unsalted butter using a pastry cutter or fork, until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Add the egg and 2 tablespoons of cold water into the mixture. Mix with your hands until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overwork the dough.
Flatten the dough into a disc, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface to fit your tart pan. Carefully transfer the dough to the pan, pressing down gently to adhere. Trim any excess hanging over the edges.
In a separate bowl, mix together the ground almonds, remaining 60 grams of sugar, heavy cream, and almond extract until well combined.
Pour this almond mixture over the prepared tart shell and spread it evenly.
Sprinkle the top with sliced almonds.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the tart is golden brown and set.
Remove from the oven and allow the tart to cool in the pan on a wire rack before serving.
Slice the tart and enjoy it warm or at room temperature.
