Looking for a dessert that’s as stunning as it is scrumptious? Our Black Seeded Grape Tart is the perfect choice! With its rich, sweet flavor and beautiful presentation, it’s sure to impress at any gathering.
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- 1 large egg yolk
- 2 tbsp cold water
- 1 cup Hexco Black Seeded Grapes, halved and seeded
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar (for filling)
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp almond extract
- 1/4 cup apricot jam (optional, for glazing)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Crust:
- In a large bowl, mix the flour and sugar. Add the cold butter and rub it into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add the egg yolk and cold water, mixing until the dough comes together. Form the dough into a disc, wrap it in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Make the Filling:
- In a medium bowl, cream together the almond flour, granulated sugar, and softened butter until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla and almond extracts.
- Assemble the Tart:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface and fit it into a 9-inch tart pan. Trim any excess dough.
- Spread the almond filling evenly over the tart crust. Arrange the halved Hexco Black Seeded Grapes on top, pressing them gently into the filling.
- Bake and Glaze:
- Bake the tart for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown.
- If desired, melt the apricot jam in a small saucepan and brush it over the warm tart for a beautiful glaze.
- Serve:
- Let the tart cool completely before slicing. Enjoy a slice of this elegant tart with a cup of tea or coffee!
