Description

This delightful Cranberry Tart blends tart fresh cranberries with crunchy almonds and a rich, buttery almond-flavored batter. Baked to perfection, it offers a perfect balance of sweet and tangy, making it an ideal dessert for holidays or any special occasion.

Ingredients

Fruit and Nut Mixture

  • 12 ounces fresh or frozen cranberries, thawed
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup sliced almonds

Batter

  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 3/4 cup butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

Topping

  • 1 tablespoon confectioners’ sugar

Instructions

  1. Mix the cranberries, almonds and sugar: In a small bowl, combine the thawed cranberries, 1/2 cup of the sugar, and the sliced almonds to create a flavorful fruit and nut layer.
  2. Preheat the oven and prepare tart pan: Preheat your oven to 325°F. Grease an 11-inch fluted tart pan with a removable bottom and place it on a baking sheet to catch any drips.
  3. Make the batter: In a separate bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to beat together the eggs, melted butter, almond extract, and the remaining 1/2 cup sugar until well combined.
  4. Add flour: Beat in the all-purpose flour just until it is moistened and formed into a thick batter.
  5. Assemble the tart: Transfer the cranberry and almond mixture evenly into the prepared tart pan. Pour the thick batter over this fruit layer and use a rubber spatula or the back of a spoon to spread it evenly across the top.
  6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, ensuring the batter is fully cooked.
  7. Cool and finish: Let the tart cool completely in the tart pan on a wire rack. Once at room temperature, dust the top with confectioners’ sugar for a pretty, sweet finish.

Notes

  • Use fresh or frozen cranberries; if using frozen, thaw completely before using.
  • For easier spreading, ensure the batter is thick; do not overmix once flour is added.
  • If you don’t have a fluted tart pan, a regular pie dish can be used but the shape and presentation will differ.
  • Store any leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Serve at room temperature or slightly chilled for best flavor.
