Almond Tart with Honey
This Almond Tart with Honey pairs a crisp shortcrust pastry shell with a soft almond frangipane filling sweetened with floral honey. Toasted sliced almonds on top add a little crunch and a nutty finish. The tart takes roughly 1 hour to prepare and bake, and it slices cleanly once fully cooled.
Equipment
- Tart Pan with Removable Bottom
- Mixing Bowls
- Whisk
- Pastry blender
- Rolling pin
- Baking sheet
Ingredients
For the Pastry Crust:
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour preferably unbleached
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter cold and cubed
- ¼ cup ice water more if needed
For the Almond Filling:
- 1 cup almond flour finely ground
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs at room temperature
- ¼ cup honey preferably wildflower
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup sliced almonds lightly toasted
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom.
- Combine the flour and salt in a mixing bowl. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough holds together. Refrigerate for 15 minutes.
- Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to fit the tart pan. Gently press the dough into the pan and trim any excess. Chill for another 10 minutes.
- Whisk together the almond flour and sugar in a separate bowl. Add the eggs, honey, and vanilla extract, whisking until smooth. Pour into the prepared crust and sprinkle with sliced almonds.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown. Let cool before serving.
Notes
Lori’s Tips:
- If you are short on time, you can use pre-made tart shells available in grocery stores.
- Substitute almond extract for vanilla extract for a stronger almond flavor.
- For a gluten-free version, use a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend in the crust.
