Ingredients
200g Almond or lupin flour blend
100g Cold unsalted butter, cubed
50ml Ice cold water
0.5 tsp Fine sea salt
200g Blanched finely ground almond meal
200g Grass-fed butter, softened
200g Erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
4 Large eggs, room temperature
0.25 tsp Pure almond extract
300g Fresh raspberries
Instructions
In a food processor, pulse the flour, cold butter, and salt until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add ice-cold water while pulsing until the dough just begins to come together.
Press the dough into a tart pan, chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes, then bake at 350°F for 10 minutes to par-bake.
In a mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and sweetener together until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs one at a time, followed by the almond meal and almond extract, mixing until smooth.
Pour the almond filling into the par-baked crust and spread evenly.
Top with fresh raspberries, pressing them gently into the filling.
Bake for an additional 25 minutes or until the filling is set and golden.
Cool completely before slicing and serving.
Notes
Ensure all ingredients like butter and eggs are at the specified temperatures to guarantee the proper emulsion of the frangipane filling. Use a convection oven setting if available for a more even bake. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
