- ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar
- 1 egg yolk
- 1-2 tbsp cold water (if needed)
- ½ tsp salt
For the Almond Filling:
- ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
- ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup (100g) almond flour (finely ground almonds)
- ½ tsp almond extract
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ cup (30g) sliced almonds (for topping)
Instructions
To prepare the tart crust for your almond tart recipe, combine the flour, butter, sugar, and salt in a food processor and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the egg yolk and mix until the dough begins to come together. If needed, add cold water, one tablespoon at a time. Shape the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface and press it into a greased tart pan. Prick the bottom with a fork and bake for 10 minutes, then set it aside.
To make the almond filling for your almond tart recipe, cream the softened butter and sugar together in a bowl until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the almond flour, almond extract, and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Spread the almond filling evenly over the pre-baked tart crust, then sprinkle sliced almonds on top. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the tart is golden brown and set.
Allow the tart to cool before slicing. For an elegant finish, dust with powdered sugar before serving. Enjoy your homemade almond tart with a cup of coffee or tea! ☕🍰 This almond tart recipe will surely impress your guests.
