Speculaas Tart with Almond Filling
Delight in the warm, spiced flavors of a traditional Dutch-inspired Speculaas Tart with Almond Filling, a dessert that pairs a buttery, spiced crust with a creamy, nutty center. The speculaas spice mix—a fragrant blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and more—elevates the crust, while the rich almond filling adds an irresistibly smooth sweetness. Perfectly balanced and beautifully textured, this tart is finished with a crumbly topping or a decorative lattice, along with optional sliced almonds for added crunch. Ideal for holiday gatherings or as a special treat with coffee, this recipe is simple to prepare in under 90 minutes and serves eight. Enjoy it as is, or add a dollop of whipped cream for the ultimate indulgence.

Ingredients
- 250 grams All-purpose flour
- 150 grams Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 125 grams Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Speculaas spice mix
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 150 grams Almond flour
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 teaspoons Almond extract
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoons Milk
- 30 grams Sliced almonds (optional, for topping)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a 23cm (9-inch) tart pan with a removable bottom.
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, brown sugar, speculaas spice mix, and salt.
Step 3
Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients and use your fingers or a pastry cutter to rub it into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Step 4
Press about two-thirds of the dough evenly into the bottom and up the sides of the prepared tart pan. Reserve the remaining dough for the top of the tart.
Step 5
In another bowl, mix together the almond flour, granulated sugar, 1 egg, almond extract, and vanilla extract until smooth. This will be your almond filling.
Step 6
Spread the almond filling evenly over the speculaas crust in the tart pan.
Step 7
Crumble the reserved dough over the almond filling to create a streusel-like topping or flatten pieces to create a lattice-like design.
Step 8
Brush the top of the tart lightly with a tablespoon of milk for extra browning, and sprinkle the sliced almonds on top (if using).
Step 9
Bake the tart in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the almond filling is set.
Step 10
Allow the tart to cool completely in the pan before removing and slicing. Serve as is or with a dollop of whipped cream!
