How to Make Almond Lemon Tart
- Combine tart shell ingredients (see below) in a food processor until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
- Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch flan dish.
- Refrigerate the tart shell for at least 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 360°F (180°C). Bake the tart shell for 15-20 minutes, or until pale golden.
- Remove the tart shell from the oven, but leave the oven on.
- In a food processor, combine ½ cup toasted almonds and ¼ cup granulated sugar; pulse until finely ground.
- Add 3 large eggs one at a time to the almond mixture, blending well after each addition.
- Stir in ½ cup heavy cream, 1 teaspoon almond extract, the zest of 2 lemons, and the juice of 2 lemons.
- Pour the lemon filling into the pre-baked tart shell and smooth the top.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the filling is set and lightly golden.
- Let cool completely before serving. Garnish with fresh berries or a dusting of powdered sugar and serve warm with crème fraîche or whipped cream.
