ALMOND AND STRAWBERRY TART
Chef Ruth Rogers grates the chilled dough directly into the tart pan, and then presses it into the bottom and sides. This allows for a thinner, lighter crust. Fresh strawberries are piled high over an almond frangipane for the finishing touch.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. In the bowl of a food processor, combine flour and salt. Cut 1/2 cup (1 stick) plus 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, chilled, into cubes, and add to bowl. Process until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar and egg yolks. Pulse until the mixture begins to form clumps. Transfer to plastic wrap, and flatten into a disk. Chill until very firm (about 1 hour).
- Coarsely grate the pastry into a 12-inch loose-bottomed, fluted tart pan. Using the palm of your hand, gently press the pastry evenly into the pan, making sure to cover the bottom and sides of the tart pan completely. Line the pastry with foil, and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Transfer to oven, and bake 10 minutes. Remove from oven, and carefully remove the foil and weights. Return to oven, and bake until very light brown, about 10 minutes. Remove from oven. Transfer to a wire rack, and let cool. Reduce oven temperature to 300 degrees.
- Place almonds in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse the almonds until fine. Remove from processor, and place in a mixing bowl.
- Let remaining 1 cup (2 sticks) of butter come to room temperature. Place the butter and sugar in the bowl of a food processor. Process until the mixture is light and creamy. Add almonds and eggs, one at a time.
- Spread mixture into the cooled pastry, and bake until top is golden brown, about 45 to 50 minutes. Remove from oven. Transfer to a wire rack, and let cool.
- Place the strawberries standing upright on tart, in a circular pattern. Dust the tart with confectioners' sugar.
ALMOND CUSTARD TART WITH STRAWBERRIES
We love how balanced this tart is-the custard filling has a subtle almond flavor, isn't overly sweet, and pairs beautifully with the crunchy oat crust. It makes an excellent healthy Easter dessert and is dairy-free to boot.

STRAWBERRY ALMOND TARTS
Steps:
- For the dough, beat the butter and sugar with the paddle on medium speed until very soft and light. Beat in the vanilla and the yolk and continue beating until smooth and shiny, about 3 more minutes. Stop the mixer, sift the cake flour and add to the butter mixture. Pulse the mixer on and off to incorporate the flour. Scrape the dough onto a piece of plastic, wrap and chill it until firm.
- For the almond filling, combine almond paste, sugar, yolk and zest and beat by machine until smooth. Beat in butter, scrape bowl and beaters and beat in eggs. Continue beating until light.
- Stir in flour. Divide the dough into 4 parts and roll one piece at a time on a floured surface. Use each piece of dough to line a 3 to 4 inch diameter tart pan. Mass the scraps together after rolling the dough for the first four pans and line the last two.
- Arrange the sliced berries evenly on the crust in each pan, then top with the almond filling, spreading it evenly with a metal spatula. Strew evenly with the sliced almonds.
- Bake the tarts at 350 degrees about 25 minutes, until dough is baked through and filling is set.
- Cool in pan, unmold and dust with confectioners' sugar. Decorate each tart with a few whole berries.

STRAWBERRY TART WITH ALMOND BUTTER CRUST
Steps:
- Put almonds and water in processor or blender and reduce to coarse powder. Add butter and blend well, scraping down sides of bowl several times. Press butter through sieve and chill until ready to use.
- Put flour, salt, sugar and butter in bowl of food processor. Turn machine on and off briefly 4 or 5 times. Butter should be in pieces the size of lima beans. Then process for about 10 seconds while adding water quickly. Stop before ball forms. If you do not have food processor, this can be done by hand. Do not knead too much or crust will become tough.
- Remove mixture from work bowl and form ball. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- On lightly dusted surface, roll out pastry ball to form crust slightly larger than tart pan (most pans are 10 to 12 inches in diameter). If you have too much dough, roll excess into ball, wrap and freeze.
- Butter tart pan well and gently lay in crust, pinching sides to fit pan. Place aluminum foil over crust and lay pinto beans or any weight over it and bake for 10 minutes. Remove foil and bake another 10 minutes or until crust is golden brown. Set aside to cool.
- When crust is cool spread cheese mixture over bottom, then layer of sliced strawberries. Melt jam with Cognac in saucepan and brush it over to glaze the fruit. Chill before serving.

Tips:
- For the perfect almond custard filling, ensure that the milk and cream are scalded before adding them to the egg mixture. This will help to prevent the eggs from curdling.
- When baking the tart, use a tart pan with removable bottom for easy release of the tart once it is baked.
- To achieve a golden-brown crust, brush the edges of the tart with an egg wash before baking.
- If you don't have a culinary blowtorch, you can caramelize the sugar topping by placing the tart under the broiler for a few minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
- For a refreshing summer dessert, serve the tart chilled with fresh strawberries and a dollop of whipped cream.
