Yield Makes one 10-inch tart

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted, plus more for pan
1 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for hands
1 tablespoon sugar
Pinch of salt
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup sliced almonds
3/4 cup heavy cream
3/4 cup sugar
1 large egg, slightly beaten
1 teaspoon almond extract
1/2 teaspoon Grand Marnier
Pinch of salt

Steps:

  • Prepare the crust: Preheat oven to 400 degrees with rack in center. Butter a 10-inch tart pan with a removable bottom; set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk to combine flour, sugar, and salt. In a small glass measuring cup, stir together butter, vanilla, and 1/2 tablespoon water; pour over flour mixture. Stir to combine. With floured hands, press dough into prepared pan. Bake for 10 minutes. Remove tart shell from oven, and reduce heat to 350 degrees.
  • Prepare the filling: In a large bowl, stir together almonds, heavy cream, sugar, egg, almond extract, Grand Marnier, and salt. Pour filling into crust. Bake tart on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet until golden brown, about 45 minutes.

Tips:

  • To make the perfect almond filling, use a combination of ground almonds, sugar, and butter. You can also add a touch of almond extract or vanilla extract for extra flavor.
  • If you don't have a tart pan, you can use a regular pie pan. Just be sure to trim the edges of the dough so that it doesn't hang over the sides of the pan.
  • To prevent the tart from getting too brown, cover it with aluminum foil during the last 10 minutes of baking.
  • Serve the tart warm or at room temperature. It's also delicious served with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Conclusion:

This almond tart is a classic Italian dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. So next time you're looking for a delicious and impressive dessert, give this almond tart a try.
