Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/4 cups all purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar, divided
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 6 ounces dark chocolate, chopped
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup sliced almonds
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F and lightly grease a 9 inch tart pan.
- In a bowl, mix 1 1/4 cups flour, 1/4 cup sugar, and 1/2 cup butter until crumbly. Press evenly into the tart pan to form the crust.
- In another bowl, beat remaining 1/4 cup sugar, 2 eggs, 1 cup almond flour, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth.
- Pour the almond filling over the prepared crust and smooth the top evenly.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until the filling is set and lightly golden. Allow to cool completely.
- Heat 1/2 cup heavy cream until just simmering, then pour over 6 ounces chopped dark chocolate. Let sit 1 to 2 minutes, then stir until smooth.
- Spread the ganache over the cooled tart and sprinkle with 1/4 cup sliced almonds. Let set before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Allow the tart to cool fully before adding the ganache for best texture.
- Use high quality dark chocolate for deeper flavor.
- Chill briefly before slicing for clean, sharp edges.
