Yield Serves 12

Number Of Ingredients 16

For crust
1 cup all purpose flour
1 cup cake flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) chilled unsalted butter, cut into pieces
2 tablespoons (or more) ice water
For filling
3 large egg whites
Pinch of salt
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
2 cups fresh cranberries or frozen, thawed
1/2 cup coarsely chopped almonds
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Powdered sugar

Steps:

  • Make crust:
  • Combine both flours and salt in processor. Add butter; cut in, using on/off turns, until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add 2 tablespoons water; process until moist clumps form, using on/off turns. If dough is dry, add more water by teaspoonfuls to moisten. Gather dough into ball. Flatten into disk. Wrap in plastic; chill 1 hour. (Can be made 3 days ahead. Keep chilled. Let stand at room temperature to soften slightly before rolling.)
  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Roll out dough on floured surface to 14-inch round. Transfer to 10-inch tart pan with removable bottom. Trim to fit. Line crust with foil. Fill with dried beans or pie weights. Bake 15 minutes. Remove foil and beans; bake until golden, about 10 minutes. Cool completely on rack. Maintain oven temperature.
  • Make filling:
  • Using electric mixer, beat egg whites and salt in large bowl until frothy. Gradually beat in 3/4 cup sugar and lemon. Beat until stiff but not dry. Mix cranberries, almonds, cornstarch and cinnamon in medium bowl; gently fold into whites in 3 additions. Transfer filling to crust. Smooth top.
  • Bake tart until tester inserted into center comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Cool on rack. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover; store at room temperature.)
  • Sift powdered sugar over tart. Cut into wedges and serve.

The cranberry filling is a bit too tart for my taste, but the meringue is amazing.

I'm not a huge fan of meringue, but I loved the way it paired with the cranberry filling.

This cranberry meringue tart was a huge success! The crust was flaky and buttery, the cranberry filling was tart and tangy, and the meringue was light and fluffy. My family loved it!
