  • Author: Olivia
  • Total Time: 1 hour
  • Yield: 12 mini tarts 1x

Ingredients

Scale

For the Almond Crust:

  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup almond flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 2 tablespoons ice water

For the Almond Frangipane Filling:

  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract

For the Raspberry Topping:

  • 1 cup fresh raspberries
  • 2 tablespoons raspberry jam, warmed
  • Powdered sugar, for garnish (optional)

Optional Garnishes:

  • Sliced almonds
  • Fresh mint leaves
  • White chocolate drizzle

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Almond Crust

  1. Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine all-purpose flour, almond flour, and sugar.
  2. Cut in the Butter: Add cold, cubed butter to the dry mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Incorporate Wet Ingredients: Mix in the egg yolk and ice water until the dough comes together. Add more water if necessary, 1 teaspoon at a time.
  4. Chill the Dough: Shape the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Step 2: Make the Almond Frangipane Filling

  1. Cream the Butter and Sugar: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
  2. Add Almond Flour and Egg: Mix in the almond flour, followed by the egg and almond extract. Stir until smooth and well combined.

Step 3: Assemble the Tarts

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
  2. Roll Out the Dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to about 1/8-inch thickness.
  3. Cut and Press: Use a round cookie cutter to cut circles slightly larger than the muffin tin cups. Gently press each circle into the tin, forming a tart shell.
  4. Fill with Frangipane: Spoon about 1 tablespoon of frangipane filling into each tart shell, spreading it evenly.

Step 4: Bake the Tarts

  1. Bake: Place the tarts in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the filling is set.
  2. Cool: Remove the tarts from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 5: Add the Raspberry Topping

  1. Arrange the Raspberries: Place fresh raspberries on top of the cooled tarts.
  2. Glaze with Jam: Brush the raspberries with warmed raspberry jam to add shine and help them stick in place.
  3. Garnish and Serve: Dust with powdered sugar, add sliced almonds, or drizzle with white chocolate for a decorative touch.
