Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 1.25 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup sliced almonds
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 teaspoon almond extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom by lightly greasing it.
In a mixing bowl, cream together 0.5 cup of unsalted butter and 0.5 cup of granulated sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 3-4 minutes.
Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and 1 large egg into the butter-sugar mixture and beat until well combined.
Gradually mix in 1.25 cups of all-purpose flour and 1 cup of almond flour until a soft, cohesive dough forms.
Press the dough evenly into the base and sides of the prepared tart pan. Poke the base with a fork to prevent it from puffing up during baking.
Bake the crust for 15 minutes, or until slightly golden. Remove from the oven and allow to cool while preparing the filling.
To make the filling, in a bowl, mix together 0.5 cup of heavy cream, 0.5 teaspoon of almond extract, and the 0.5 cup of sliced almonds.
Pour the almond filling into the cooled tart crust, spreading it evenly across the surface.
Return the tart to the oven and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the filling is set and the tart is a golden brown.
Remove the tart from the oven and allow it to cool to room temperature in the pan before transferring to a serving platter.
Serve the tart plain, or with a dusting of powdered sugar for an elegant finish.
