Mini Raspberry Almond Tarts: A Bite-Sized Delight π°
There’s something undeniably charming about miniature desserts. They’re elegant, easy to share, and perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth without going overboard. Today, I’m excited to share a recipe for Mini Raspberry Almond Tarts that combines the rich, nutty flavor of almonds with the bright, tartness of raspberries. These little treats are perfect for any occasion, whether it’s a casual afternoon tea or a more formal gathering.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup of all-purpose flour πΎ
- 1/2 cup of almond flour π°
- 1/3 cup of granulated sugar π§
- 1/4 teaspoon of baking powder π§
- 1/4 teaspoon of salt π§
- 1/2 cup of unsalted butter, cubed π§
- 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract πΌ
- 1/4 teaspoon of almond extract π°
- 1/2 cup of raspberry jam or preserves π
- Powdered sugar for dusting π°
Instructions:
- Preheat Your Oven:
Start by preheating your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C). Line a mini muffin pan with mini paper liners. π₯ - Prepare the Dough:
In a food processor, combine the all-purpose flour, almond flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the cubed butter, vanilla extract, and almond extract. πΎπ° - Form the Dough:
Pulse the mixture until it begins to form a cohesive dough. Transfer the dough onto a clean surface. π₯ - Shape the Dough:
Knead the dough gently until smooth. Using a small cookie scoop, create uniformly sized balls of dough. Roll each portion in your hands to form perfect spheres and place them into the prepared muffin liners. π©βπ³ - Create the Indentations:
Use the end of a wooden spoon to create an indentation atop each dough ball, approximately 1/4 inch deep, to accommodate the raspberry preserves. π₯ - Fill with Raspberry Preserves:
Fill a plastic zip-top bag with the raspberry preserves. Snip off a small corner of the bag and carefully pipe the preserves into the indentations in the dough. π - Bake the Tarts:
Place the tarts into the preheated oven and bake for 13-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and fully set. β³ - Cool the Tarts:
Allow the tarts to cool in the pan for approximately 20 minutes to prevent them from crumbling when removed. π¬οΈ - Finish with Powdered Sugar:
Once cooled, use a butter knife to assist in lifting the tarts out of the pan. Dust with powdered sugar for a finished appearance. π° - Store the Tarts:
Store the tarts in an airtight container to preserve their texture and flavor, maintaining their quality for up to five days. π¦
