Title: Tarta De Frambuesa Raspberry Tart
Ingredients:
– 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
– 1/4 cup granulated sugar
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 1 egg, beaten
– 1/2 cup almond flour
– 1/2 cup granulated sugar
– 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 1 egg
– 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
– 2 cups fresh raspberries
Instructions:
1. In a food processor, combine the all-purpose flour, chilled butter, granulated sugar, and salt. Pulse until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
2. Add the beaten egg and continue to pulse until the dough comes together. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead lightly until smooth. Shape the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
3. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and grease a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom.
4. Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface to fit the tart pan. Press the dough into the pan, trimming any excess from the edges. Prick the bottom of the dough with a fork and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool.
5. In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, granulated sugar, softened butter, egg, and almond extract. Beat until well combined and smooth.
6. Spread the almond mixture evenly over the cooled tart crust.
7. Arrange the fresh raspberries on top of the almond mixture in a decorative pattern.
8. Bake the tart for an additional 25-30 minutes, or until the almond cream is set and the raspberries are slightly softened.
9. Allow the tart to cool before serving. You can dust it with powdered sugar for a beautiful finish.
