This exquisite tart combines a crunchy almond crust with a vibrant lingonberry filling, offering a perfect balance of sweetness and tartness. Ideal for a refreshing dessert or a sophisticated tea-time treat.
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare the almond crust by mixing ground almonds, flour, sugar, and melted butter until crumbly. Press the mixture into a tart pan and bake for 10 minutes.
Step 2
In a saucepan, combine lingonberries, sugar, and a splash of lemon juice. Cook over medium heat until the berries burst and the mixture thickens. Let it cool slightly before spreading over the baked crust.
Step 3
Bake the assembled tart for an additional 15 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. Allow it to cool completely before serving, garnished with almond flakes or a dollop of whipped cream.
Baking Tips & Variations
Perfecting Your Lingonberry Almond Tart
For a nut-free version, substitute the almond crust with a traditional shortcrust pastry. You can also experiment with other berries like cloudberries or raspberries for a different flavor profile. Serve the tart with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of honey for added sweetness. To enhance the tart’s presentation, dust with powdered sugar just before serving.
