Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb (450g) fresh strawberries, sliced
- 1/4 cup (30g) almond flour
- 1 1/4 cups (150g) all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup (115g) cold unsalted butter, diced
- 1/2 cup (100g) sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/8 tsp salt
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: Combine 1 1/4 cups (150g) all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup (50g) sugar, and 1/8 tsp salt in a food processor. Add 1/2 cup (115g) cold unsalted butter, diced. Pulse until crumbly. Add 1 egg and mix until the dough comes together. Wrap in plastic and chill for 30 minutes.
- Roll out the dough: On a floured surface, roll the dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer to a 9-inch tart pan, pressing it into the edges. Trim excess dough and prick the base with a fork. Chill for 15 minutes.
- Pre-bake the crust: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line the crust with parchment paper and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake for 15 minutes, then remove weights and bake for another 5 minutes. Set aside to cool.
- Make the almond filling: In a bowl, beat 1/2 cup (100g) sugar, 1/4 cup (30g) almond flour, and 2 eggs until creamy. Stir in 1 tsp vanilla extract.
- Assemble the tart: Pour the almond filling into the cooled crust. Arrange 1 lb (450g) sliced strawberries on top, pressing gently into the filling.
- Bake: Reduce oven temperature to 350°F (175°C). Bake the tart for 25-30 minutes, or until the filling is set and lightly golden.
- Cool and serve: Let the tart cool completely before slicing. Dust with powdered sugar for extra flair!
Notes
Keep the butter cold for a flaky crust. If the crust starts to brown too quickly, cover the edges with aluminum foil. Arrange strawberries starting from the outside for a professional look.
