Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

Crust
4 tablespoons butter, softened
2 tablespoons sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 large egg
3/4 cup all-purpose flour, plus extra for rolling crust
4 fluted 3-inch tart pans
4 tablespoon uncooked rice or dried beans
Filling
1 tablespoon butter, softened
2 teaspoon sugar
1 large egg yolk
1/4 cup almond flour (or almond meal)
2 tablespoon 2 percent milk
Fruit
1 tablespoon apricot preserves
2 ounces fresh raspberries (about 28 berries)

Steps:

  • Crust:
  • Combine butter, sugar and salt in a bowl. Beat in egg, then flour, 1/4 cup at a time, until you get a shaggy dough (it holds together loosely, but it's not smooth or elastic). Dust a surface with flour, transfer dough to surface and, with lightly floured fingers, knead once or twice until a sticky dough forms. Wrap in plastic wrap; refrigerate at least 40 minutes. Heat oven to 350°F. Divide dough in half; reserve half for Chocolate-Banana Tarts or freeze, well-wrapped, for another use. Divide remainder into 4 pieces. With lightly floured fingertips, press 1 piece into each tart pan, working dough up the sides evenly. (If dough tears on bottom, smooth dough over hole to close it up.) Prick pastry along bottom with a fork several times. Gently press a small square of foil into each pastry shell (do not press down hard). Top each with 1 tablespoon uncooked rice or dried beans (to prevent pastry from puffing up). Place on a baking sheet and bake 10 minutes. Remove foil and rice from each crust; discard. Return crust to oven; cook until golden, about 5 minutes more. Keep oven on.
  • Filling:
  • Combine butter and sugar. Beat in yolk, followed by flour, until combined. Beat in milk until incorporated. Divide filling among tart shells and bake until puffed, about 15 minutes.
  • Fruit:
  • Heat preserves with 1 tablespoon water in a small sauté pan over low heat until melted, about 3 minutes. Press through a sieve into a bowl. Let cool. Arrange about 7 raspberries on top of each tart. Brush glaze onto raspberries and drizzle remaining glaze over raspberries until covered. Serve immediately.

These tarts are best served warm, but they're also good cold. I actually prefer them cold.

I added a dollop of whipped cream to each tart before serving. It really took them over the top!

I would recommend using fresh raspberries for this recipe. Frozen raspberries will work, but they won't be as flavorful.

I had a little trouble getting the pastry crust to roll out evenly, but other than that, these tarts were a breeze to make. They're also delicious!

These tarts were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still very good. I would recommend using less sugar in the filling next time.

I'm not a huge fan of marzipan, but I really enjoyed these tarts. The filling was creamy and smooth, and the pastry crust was perfectly flaky.

These raspberry marzipan tarts were delightful! The filling was creamy and almondy, with a hint of tartness from the raspberries, and the pastry crust was flaky and buttery. I would definitely make these again.
