Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound fresh or frozen cranberries
  • 1 1/4 cup sugar, divided
  • 1/2 cup water
  • Pinch table salt
  • 3 large egg yolks
  • 2 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 4 tablespoon unsalted butter, cut into 4 pieces and softened
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1/2 cup cornstarch
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon table salt
  • 6 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • 3/4 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1 cup heavy cream

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Prepare a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom.

2. In a large bowl, combine the almond flour, cornstarch, sugar, and salt. Add the melted butter and almond extract, mixing until a dough forms. Press the dough evenly into the prepared tart pan.

3. Bake the crust for 12-15 minutes, or until it’s lightly golden. Allow it to cool completely on a wire rack.

4. In a saucepan, combine the cranberries, 1 1/4 cup of sugar, water, and a pinch of salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries burst, about 10 minutes. Remove the mixture from the heat and let it cool slightly.

5. Carefully transfer the cranberry mixture to a blender and blend until smooth. If desired, strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any skins.

6. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the remaining 1 tablespoon of sugar and the cornstarch until smooth. Gradually whisk the cranberry puree into the egg mixture. Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thickened, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the softened butter pieces until the curd is smooth and silky.

7. Pour the cranberry curd into the baked almond crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.

8. Refrigerate the tart for at least 2 hours before serving. Whip the heavy cream and serve alongside the tart, if desired.

Notes

To ensure your Cranberry Curd Tart turns out perfectly every time, keep these tips in mind:

Prevent a soggy crust by thoroughly baking the almond crust before adding the cranberry curd.

Cook the curd over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens to a smooth, velvety texture.

Experiment with adding a touch of orange zest or a pinch of ground cinnamon to the cranberry curd for a warm, spiced twist.

Top the tart with a dollop of whipped cream, a sprinkle of chopped toasted almonds, or a drizzle of caramel sauce for a stunning finale.
