Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups (150g) almond flour
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup (56g) unsalted butter, cold and cubed (can swap with coconut oil for dairy-free)
  • 1 large egg yolk (room temperature)
  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract (optional but highly recommended)
  • 1 1/2 cups (225g) fresh raspberries (frozen works if thawed and drained)
  • 3/4 cup (90g) almond flour
  • 1/3 cup (67g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour)
  • Sliced almonds, toasted (optional garnish)
  • Powdered sugar for dusting (optional garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: In a medium bowl, combine almond flour, sugar, and salt. Cut in cold butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add egg yolk and almond extract, mix until dough just comes together. Wrap in plastic and chill at least 30 minutes.
  2. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease heart-shaped tart pan with butter or non-stick spray.
  3. Roll out chilled dough on lightly floured surface to 1/4 inch thickness. Transfer to tart pan, press into edges, trim excess, and dock bottom with fork.
  4. Blind bake crust: Line crust with parchment and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake 12 minutes, remove weights and parchment, bake another 5 minutes until just golden.
  5. Make filling: In large bowl, whisk almond flour, sugar, and flour. Beat in eggs, sour cream (or Greek yogurt), and almond extract until smooth.
  6. Pour filling into warm crust, smooth evenly. Gently press fresh raspberries into filling, spacing evenly.
  7. Bake tart at 350°F (175°C) for 35-40 minutes until filling is set and slightly golden. Toothpick inserted near center should come out mostly clean.
  8. Cool tart completely on wire rack (about 1 hour). Sprinkle toasted sliced almonds and dust with powdered sugar before serving.

Notes

Use cold butter for flaky crust. Blind bake crust to prevent sogginess. Chill tart after baking for firmer slices and intensified flavor. Cover crust edges with foil if browning too fast. Gently fold raspberries into filling to preserve shape. Frozen raspberries can be used if thawed and drained. Almond extract is highly recommended for best flavor.
