Categories     dessert

Time 50m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 sheet frozen puff pastry (from a 17 1/4-ounce package), thawed
1 egg, beaten to blend
3/4 cup whipping cream or heavy cream
1/4 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons amaretto liqueur
1/4 cup sliced almonds, toasted and coarsely crumbled
1 (6-ounce) basket fresh raspberries
1 (6-ounce) basket fresh blueberries
Unsweetened cocoa powder, for dusting

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Cut a 3/4-inch wide strip off each side of the pastry and reserve. Roll out the pastry sheet on a lightly floured work surface to a 10-inch square and transfer to a sheet pan or cookie sheet. Brush the edges of the square with the egg. Working with 1 strip at a time, stand the strips along the edges of the pastry square and crimp where they meet. You want to create a shallow box, where the pastry square is the base and the 4 strips are the walls. Overlap the strips at the corners, stretching them, if necessary, to complete the walls of the box. Brush the border with the egg. Pierce the center of the pastry all over with fork. Bake until the pastry is golden brown, about 20 minutes. Transfer to a rack and cool completely.
  • Using an electric mixer, beat the cream to soft peaks. With the mixer still running, gradually add the sugar and continue to beat to stiff peaks. Add the liqueur and beat until just well blended; be careful not to overmix or the whipped cream will turn into a buttery consistency and start to separate. Using a large spatula, fold in the nuts. Spoon the cream mixture into the prepared pastry crust. Arrange the berries over the cream. Sift the cocoa powder over and serve.
  • Note: You can use any fruit that's in season (orange segments, berries, plums, bananas, grapes). Blueberries make a good substitute for the raspberries, and sliced peaches or nectarines are delicious as well.

Yield Makes 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

Crust:
1 1/4 cups finely ground chocolate wafer cookies (about 25)
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Filling and topping:
6 ounces almond paste, crumbled into 1/4-inch pieces (about 1 1/3 cups)
6 ounces bittersweet chocolate (do not exceed 61% cacao), chopped
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
3 half-pint baskets fresh raspberries
2 tablespoons seedless raspberry jam
2 teaspoons kirsch (clear cherry brandy)
Sliced almonds, toasted
Ingredient info: Almond paste is available in the baking aisle of most supermarkets and at specialty foods stores.
Special Equipment
1 9-inch-diameter tart pan with removable bottom

Steps:

  • For crust:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Combine cookie crumbs and 5 tablespoons butter in medium bowl. Stir until crumbs are evenly coated and beginning to stick together. Press crumb mixture in thin even layer onto bottom and up sides of 9-inch-diameter tart pan with removable bottom. Bake crust until set and beginning to crisp, pressing with back of fork if crust puffs, about 15 minutes. Cool crust completely on rack.
  • For filling and topping :
  • Sprinkle almond paste over crust. Gently press to even layer. Place chocolate in medium bowl. Bring cream to simmer in small saucepan. Pour cream over chocolate. Let stand 1 minute, then whisk until melted and smooth. Pour ganache evenly over almond layer. Chill tart until chocolate is cold and set, at least 4 hours and up to 1 day.
  • Arrange raspberries, pointed side up, over top of tart. Stir jam and kirsch in small pan over low heat until blended and heated through. Brush glaze over berries. Sprinkle almonds around edge of tart. DO AHEAD: can be made 6 hours ahead. Chill uncovered.
  • Using small sharp knife, loosen crust from pan sides. Push up pan bottom, releasing tart. Cut into wedges; serve cold.

Tips:

  • For a more intense almond flavor, toast the almonds before adding them to the tart.
  • If you don't have almond flour, you can make your own by grinding almonds in a food processor until they are finely ground.
  • Be sure to use fresh raspberries for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh raspberries, you can use frozen raspberries that have been thawed and drained.
  • To make a gluten-free tart, use gluten-free flour in the crust recipe.
  • This tart can be served warm or cold. If you serve it warm, let it cool slightly before slicing so that the filling doesn't spill out.

Conclusion:

This almond and raspberry tart is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of sweet and tart flavors is sure to please everyone, and the beautiful presentation will make it a centerpiece of any table.
