Ingredients
Scale
Tart Base:
- 1 pre-baked tart shell
- 50 grams (1.8 ounces) all-purpose flour
Main Ingredients:
- 200 grams (7.1 ounces) butter
- 150 grams (5.3 ounces) sugar
- 200 grams (7.1 ounces) almond meal
- 3 eggs
- 300 grams (10.6 ounces) raspberries
Finishing Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- 2 tablespoons apricot jam
- Icing sugar, for dusting
Instructions
- Prepare a tart shell and set aside, ensuring surface is lightly floured.
- Whip butter and sugar together until light and airy, creating a smooth creamy texture.
- Incorporate eggs individually, mixing thoroughly after each addition, then blend in almond extract for enhanced flavor profile.
- Gently fold almond meal and flour into the mixture, maintaining a delicate consistency without overmixing.
- Transfer batter into prepared tart shell, spreading evenly with a spatula to create uniform coverage.
- Carefully arrange fresh raspberries across the surface, pressing them lightly into the frangipane base.
- Place tart in preheated oven at 180C (350F) and bake for 30-35 minutes until edges turn golden brown and center appears set.
- Remove from oven and immediately glaze surface with warm raspberry jam, ensuring complete coverage.
- Allow tart to cool completely at room temperature, enabling filling to stabilize and flavors to meld.
- Before serving, delicately dust top with powdered sugar, creating an elegant finishing touch.
Notes
- Select ripe, fresh raspberries for the most vibrant flavor and avoid mushy or overripe fruits.
- Press raspberries gently into the frangipane mixture to prevent them from sinking during baking.
- For a gluten-free version, replace regular flour with almond flour or a gluten-free flour blend.
- Enhance the almond flavor by toasting almond meal lightly before adding to the mixture, which deepens the nutty profile.
