Ingredients

Scale

For the Almond Cream:

  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract

For the Tart:

  • 1 sheet of puff pastry, thawed
  • 1 cup fresh raspberries
  • Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Oven and Puff Pastry: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). On a lightly floured surface, roll out the thawed puff pastry sheet to smooth any creases and fit your baking tray.
  2. Make the Almond Cream: In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, granulated sugar, softened butter, egg, and almond extract. Beat thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  3. Assemble the Tart: Spread the almond cream evenly over the puff pastry, leaving about a 1-inch border around the edges to allow the pastry to puff without overflowing the filling.
  4. Add the Raspberries: Gently place fresh raspberries on top of the almond cream in an even layer.
  5. Bake the Tart: Transfer the tart to the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes until the pastry is golden brown and the almond cream is set and slightly puffed.
  6. Cool and Serve: Remove the tart from the oven and allow it to cool slightly on a wire rack. Dust with powdered sugar if desired before serving.

Notes

  • Ensure the puff pastry is fully thawed before rolling to prevent tearing.
  • Fresh raspberries can be substituted with other fresh berries such as blackberries or blueberries.
  • For extra shine, you can brush the pastry edges with a lightly beaten egg before baking.
  • This tart is best enjoyed the same day it’s made to retain crispness.
  • To make it gluten-free, use gluten-free puff pastry.
