Ingredients
  

  • For the Almond Tart Crust:
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup almond flour
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter cold and cubed
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • For the Filling:
  • 4 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream chilled
  • For the Topping:
  • 1 cup fresh raspberries
  • 2 tablespoons raspberry jam optional, for glaze
  • Sliced almonds optional, for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Almond Tart Crust:
  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • In a bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, almond flour, and powdered sugar.
  • Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Add the egg yolk and vanilla extract, mixing until the dough comes together.
  • Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/8-inch thickness.
  • Cut circles to fit your tart pans or mini muffin tin and press the dough into each cavity. Trim the edges as needed.
  • Prick the bottoms with a fork and bake for 10–12 minutes, or until lightly golden. Allow to cool completely.
  • Make the Filling:
  • In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and almond extract until smooth and creamy.
  • In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
  • Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined.
  • Assemble the Tarts:
  • Spoon or pipe the filling into the cooled tart shells.
  • Top each tart with fresh raspberries.
  • Optional Glaze:
  • Warm the raspberry jam slightly and brush it over the raspberries for a glossy finish.
  • Garnish and Serve:
  • Sprinkle sliced almonds on top for added texture and flavor.
  • Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to enjoy.
