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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom by lightly greasing it.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and 1 large egg into the butter-sugar mixture and beat until well combined.

Step 4

Gradually mix in 1.25 cups of all-purpose flour and 1 cup of almond flour until a soft, cohesive dough forms.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Bake the crust for 15 minutes, or until slightly golden. Remove from the oven and allow to cool while preparing the filling.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Pour the almond filling into the cooled tart crust, spreading it evenly across the surface.

Step 9

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.

Step 10

Remove the tart from the oven and allow it to cool to room temperature in the pan before transferring to a serving platter.

Step 11

Serve the tart plain, or with a dusting of powdered sugar for an elegant finish.
