Decadent and Delicious Almond Tart Recipe
Ingredients
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a saucepan, combine the water and sugar.
- Bring to a boil and let it simmer for about 7 minutes, or until it reaches a light thread stage (the syrup will slightly thicken but still run in a thread when dropped from a spoon).
- Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
- Meanwhile, strain the yolks and eggs through a fine-mesh sieve into a mixing bowl to remove any impurities or chalazae.
- Add the almond flour to the eggs and mix well.
- Slowly pour the warm (not hot!) sugar syrup into the egg-almond mixture in a thin stream, whisking constantly to avoid curdling.
- Line a pie/tart tin with the puff pastry, trimming the edges if necessary.
- Pour the mixture into the crust and generously dust the top with powdered sugar.
- Bake for about 30 minutes, or until golden, and the top forms a crispy, caramelized crust from the sugar-almond combination.
- Allow the tart to cool completely before removing from the pan and serving.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I substitute almond flour with another type of flour?
You can substitute almond flour with other nut flours such as hazelnut flour or macadamia flour, but keep in mind that this will alter the flavor and texture of the tart. If you need a gluten-free option, using a blend of gluten-free all-purpose flour may also work, but the outcome will differ from using almond flour.
How should I store leftover almond tart?
Store any leftover almond tart in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. If you want to keep it longer, you can freeze it for up to 2 months. Make sure to wrap it well in plastic wrap or aluminum foil before placing it in the freezer to avoid freezer burn.
What should I do if my tart crust is soggy after baking?
To prevent a soggy crust, make sure to pre-bake the puff pastry for about 10 minutes before adding the filling. You can also sprinkle a thin layer of almond flour or breadcrumbs on the bottom of the pastry before pouring in the almond filling, which helps to absorb excess moisture.
