Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup sliced almonds
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a food processor, combine 1 1/4 cups of all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup of cold unsalted butter, 1/4 cup of granulated sugar, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of almond extract. Pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom. Prick the bottom of the crust with a fork. Chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
- Line the chilled crust with parchment paper and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake for 15 minutes. Remove the parchment paper and weights, then bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown. Let it cool while preparing the filling.
- In a bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup of almond flour, 2 large eggs, 1/2 cup of honey, and 1/4 cup of heavy cream until smooth. Pour the filling into the cooled tart crust.
- Sprinkle 1/2 cup of sliced almonds evenly over the top of the filling.
- Bake the tart for 20-25 minutes, or until the filling is set and the almonds are golden brown.
- Let the tart cool completely, then dust with 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar before serving.
