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
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit).
Step 2
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.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Flatten the dough into a disc, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
In a separate bowl, mix together the ground almonds, remaining 60 grams of sugar, heavy cream, and almond extract until well combined.
Step 7
Pour this almond mixture over the prepared tart shell and spread it evenly.
Step 8
Sprinkle the top with sliced almonds.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the tart is golden brown and set.
Step 10
Remove from the oven and allow the tart to cool in the pan on a wire rack before serving.
Step 11
Slice the tart and enjoy it warm or at room temperature.
