Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 1 pre-made tart crust
Filling and Streusel Topping
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- ½ cup sliced almonds
- ¼ cup sugar
- ¼ cup flour
- 1 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This step ensures that the tart bakes evenly and the streusel topping becomes perfectly golden.
- Prepare Tart Crust: Place the pre-made tart crust into a tart pan, pressing it firmly into the edges so it fits snugly, creating the base for your tart.
- Arrange Raspberries: Wash the fresh raspberries gently under cold water and drain them well. Evenly arrange the raspberries over the tart crust to form the fruity layer.
- Make Streusel Topping: In a mixing bowl, combine the sliced almonds, sugar, flour, and cinnamon. Mix thoroughly so that the almonds are evenly coated with the dry ingredients, forming the streusel mixture.
- Top with Streusel: Sprinkle the almond streusel mixture evenly over the layer of raspberries, covering the fruit with a crunchy and flavorful topping.
- Bake the Tart: Place the tart pan on the middle rack of the preheated oven and bake for about 25 minutes, or until the streusel topping turns golden brown and crisp.
- Cool the Tart: Once baked, remove the tart from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for a few minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before serving. This helps the tart set and makes slicing easier.
Notes
- Use fresh raspberries for the best flavor and texture; thawed frozen raspberries can release too much moisture.
- You can substitute sliced almonds with chopped walnuts or pecans if preferred.
- For a richer crust, brush the pre-made tart shell lightly with melted butter before adding the raspberries.
- If you like, dust the cooled tart with powdered sugar for a pretty finishing touch.
- Serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgence.
