Ingredients

• 200 grams All-purpose flour
• 50 grams Low-fat margarine
• 2 tablespoons Iced water
• 4 tablespoons Low-sugar raspberry jam
• 100 grams Ground almonds
• 50 grams Powdered sugar
• 80 grams Low-fat Greek yogurt
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon Almond extract
• 20 grams Flaked almonds

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and lightly grease a 20 cm (8-inch) tart tin.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, rub the low-fat margarine into the all-purpose flour using your fingertips until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.

Step 3

Add the iced water, one tablespoon at a time, and mix until the dough comes together. Chill the dough in the fridge for 15 minutes.

Step 4

Roll out the chilled pastry on a lightly floured surface and line the tart tin. Trim any excess pastry and prick the base all over with a fork.

Step 5

Place a baking sheet or parchment paper over the pastry, fill with baking beans or rice, and blind-bake for 10 minutes. Remove the baking beans and bake for another 5 minutes. Let cool.

Step 6

Spread the low-sugar raspberry jam evenly over the base of the pastry case.

Step 7

In a bowl, whisk the eggs and powdered sugar until pale and fluffy. Add the low-fat Greek yogurt, ground almonds, vanilla extract, and almond extract, and gently fold until combined.

Step 8

Pour the almond filling mixture over the jam layer in the tart shell, smoothing out the top with a spatula.

Step 9

Sprinkle the flaked almonds over the filling and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until golden and set in the center.

Step 10

Allow the tart to cool completely before removing from the tin. Slice into 8 portions and serve.
