Almond Tassies with Mixed Berry Curd
Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cut in the butter and cream cheese until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
-
Shape the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 1 hour.
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
Divide the dough into 24 equal portions and press each portion into the bottom and up the sides of a mini muffin tin.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
-
Fill each tart shell with the egg yolk mixture.
-
Bake for 15-18 minutes, until the tarts are golden brown.
-
Let the tarts cool in the muffin tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
In a saucepan, combine the mixed berries, lemon juice, and powdered sugar. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the berries break down and the mixture thickens.
-
Remove from heat and let the berry curd cool.
-
Spoon the mixed berry curd into the cooled tart shells.
-
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
-
Dust with powdered sugar before serving, if desired.
