Steps:
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, almond flour, sugar, and salt.
- Use your fingers to incorporate the butter into the flour mixture, until it resembles chunky, pea-sized crumbs. Stir in the milk until evenly combined. The crumbs should stick together when pressed between your fingers.
- Press two thirds of the crust mixture into the bottom of a 4×13 inch fluted tart pan (preferably with a removable bottom). Use gentle but firm pressure, and start with the bottom and work your way up the edges.
- Place the tart pan and the remaining crumble mixture in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a medium mixing bowl, stir together the chopped strawberries, sugar, vanilla, and lemon juice until combined. Let sit at room temperature while the crust mixture is chilling.
- When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350℉.
- Stir the arrowroot starch into the strawberry mixture. Remove the tart shell from the refrigerator, and fill with the strawberries and juices.
- Sprinkle the remaining crumbs on top, along with the sliced almonds.
- Place the tart pan on a rimmed baking sheet to catch any drips or overflow, and bake for 45-50 minutes, until the strawberry filling just begins to bubble, and the crumble topping is golden.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for at least 30 minutes before carefully removing from the tart pan and slicing. You may need to (carefully) run a thin knife around the removable bottom edge of the pan to release the tart.
- Serve warm or at room temperature with a dusting of confectioners sugar, or a scoop of vanilla ice cream or freshly whipped cream. Enjoy!!
ALMOND CUSTARD TART WITH STRAWBERRIES
We love how balanced this tart is-the custard filling has a subtle almond flavor, isn't overly sweet, and pairs beautifully with the crunchy oat crust. It makes an excellent healthy Easter dessert and is dairy-free to boot.

Steps:
- Crust: Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together oil, sugar, salt, and egg yolk. Stir in flour and oats until a crumbly dough forms. Press into bottom and up sides of a 9-inch fluted tart pan with removable bottom. Bake until set and light golden, about 20 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely, about 1 hour.
- Filling: In a medium saucepan, heat milk, salt, and vanilla seeds until simmering around the edges. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk together yolks and sugar until pale and thick; whisk in cornstarch until smooth. Whisking constantly, gradually add half of milk to egg mixture, then pour egg mixture into saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, whisking constantly until custard is thickened and bubbles once in the center, about 2 minutes.
- Using a rubber spatula, press custard through a sieve into crust; smooth with a small offset spatula. Cover surface directly with plastic wrap and refrigerate until well chilled, about 2 hours. Just before serving, arrange strawberries on top and sprinkle with almonds.
FRESH STRAWBERRY TART
This free-form strawberry tart in a buttercrust pastry is thickly glazed and beautiful. You can use a tart pan, but going free-form is kind of fun. Be sure to use perfectly ripe, sweet strawberries.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place pastry dough on a lightly floured work surface. Roll out dough to a round disk about 1/8-inch thick and 12 inches in diameter. Transfer to prepared baking sheet.
- Brush outside 2 inches around the edges of circle lightly with water. Tightly curl up a bit of the edge of the dough to give it a rounder shape with a slightly thickened edge. If some edges are thicker than others, pinch off excess and add to thinner edges forming a circle with even edges. Roll each edge again just once to make the edges thick enough to crimp. Crimp crust with your floured fingers.
- Use a fork to "dock" the bottom surface, covering it with tiny holes to prevent the dough from bubbling up as it bakes.
- Bake in preheated oven until golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool about 10 minutes. Do not turn off the oven.
- Place cream cheese, creme fraiche, egg yolk, sugar, salt, vanilla, and lemon zest in mixing bowl. Mix together thoroughly. Carefully pour a thin layer of mixture evenly into pastry shell (you may not need all the cheese mixture).
- Transfer filled tart to oven. Bake until cheese layer is set and crust is browned, about 20 minutes. Let tart cool completely to room temperature before adding berries.
- Arrange berries cut side down, pointy end out starting with the larger berries around the edges. You can lean strawberries up a bit as your work your way toward the center. Cut some berry halves in half again to fit into any gaps on the cheese layer.
- Place apricot jam and 2 teaspoons water in saucepan. Heat over low heat until thin enough to brush. Let cool slightly before brushing generously over all berries and crust. Transfer tart to serving plate.

STRAWBERRY TART WITH ALMOND BUTTER CRUST
Steps:
- Put almonds and water in processor or blender and reduce to coarse powder. Add butter and blend well, scraping down sides of bowl several times. Press butter through sieve and chill until ready to use.
- Put flour, salt, sugar and butter in bowl of food processor. Turn machine on and off briefly 4 or 5 times. Butter should be in pieces the size of lima beans. Then process for about 10 seconds while adding water quickly. Stop before ball forms. If you do not have food processor, this can be done by hand. Do not knead too much or crust will become tough.
- Remove mixture from work bowl and form ball. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- On lightly dusted surface, roll out pastry ball to form crust slightly larger than tart pan (most pans are 10 to 12 inches in diameter). If you have too much dough, roll excess into ball, wrap and freeze.
- Butter tart pan well and gently lay in crust, pinching sides to fit pan. Place aluminum foil over crust and lay pinto beans or any weight over it and bake for 10 minutes. Remove foil and bake another 10 minutes or until crust is golden brown. Set aside to cool.
- When crust is cool spread cheese mixture over bottom, then layer of sliced strawberries. Melt jam with Cognac in saucepan and brush it over to glaze the fruit. Chill before serving.

STRAWBERRY ALMOND TARTS
Steps:
- For the dough, beat the butter and sugar with the paddle on medium speed until very soft and light. Beat in the vanilla and the yolk and continue beating until smooth and shiny, about 3 more minutes. Stop the mixer, sift the cake flour and add to the butter mixture. Pulse the mixer on and off to incorporate the flour. Scrape the dough onto a piece of plastic, wrap and chill it until firm.
- For the almond filling, combine almond paste, sugar, yolk and zest and beat by machine until smooth. Beat in butter, scrape bowl and beaters and beat in eggs. Continue beating until light.
- Stir in flour. Divide the dough into 4 parts and roll one piece at a time on a floured surface. Use each piece of dough to line a 3 to 4 inch diameter tart pan. Mass the scraps together after rolling the dough for the first four pans and line the last two.
- Arrange the sliced berries evenly on the crust in each pan, then top with the almond filling, spreading it evenly with a metal spatula. Strew evenly with the sliced almonds.
- Bake the tarts at 350 degrees about 25 minutes, until dough is baked through and filling is set.
- Cool in pan, unmold and dust with confectioners' sugar. Decorate each tart with a few whole berries.

- Let the tart cool completely before slicing and serving. This will allow the filling to set and the flavors to develop.
- Garnish with fresh strawberries, whipped cream, or ice cream for an extra special touch.
