Time 1h

Yield Serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 6

200g plain flour, plus extra for dusting
100g unsalted butter, diced and chilled
300g flaked almonds
284ml carton double cream
225g granulated sugar
4 tbsp single malt whisky, such as Islay, plus extra for drizzling

Steps:

  • Whizz the flour, butter and a pinch of salt in a food processor until it forms fine crumbs. Tip into a bowl, add 4 tablespoons cold water and mix until it comes together. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead into a ball. Roll out to a large flat circle - large enough to line a 23cm round, deep, fluted tart tin. Prick the pastry in the bottom of the tin with a fork and transfer to the fridge for 30 minutes to chill.
  • Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 200°C/fan180°C/gas 6. Line the tart with baking paper and baking beans, place on a baking sheet and cook for 15 minutes. Remove the paper and beans and bake for a further 5 minutes or until pale golden.
  • Meanwhile, put the almonds, cream, sugar, whisky and a pinch of salt into a medium, heavy-based pan. Stir over a low heat until the sugar has dissolved. Increase the heat slightly and simmer, stirring frequently, for 20 minutes or until the mixture thickens and turns a pale gold. Remove from the heat.
  • Reduce the oven temperature to 180°C/fan160°C/gas 4. Pour the filling into the pastry case and bake for a further 10 minutes or until golden - it won't be fully set until cooled. Cool in the tin slightly, drizzling with a little more whisky while still hot. Carefully transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Cut the tart into slices and serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of crème fraîche, if you like.

ALMOND TOFFEE TART



Almond Toffee Tart image

A chewy caramelized almond filling nestled in a delicate buttery crust.

Provided by Our Best Bites

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups all purpose flour
3/4 cup real butter, chilled
2 egg yolks from large eggs
1 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons fresh orange zest
2 cups sliced almonds, toasted
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
optional: sweetened whipped cream for serving
Equipment: 11 or 12-inch tart pan with removable bottom (see link in post)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Spray tart pan with nonstick spray and set aside.
  • Prepare crust by cutting flour into butter until crumbly and then adding egg yolks. You may use a food processor, processing until pea-sized crumbs form. Dough will be slightly crumbly. Press dough into pan and up sides. Place tart pan on a baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and increase heat to 375 degrees.
  • While pastry is baking, prepare filling. Combine cream, sugar, salt, and orange zest. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and add almonds and extract.
  • Pour mixture into pastry crust, spread out almonds if necessary into an even layer.
  • Return pan to oven and bake for 45-55 minutes, until the top is bubbly and starting to turn golden brown. **Baking time varies depending on ovens and pan so I highly suggest keeping an eye on it after about 40 minutes.
  • Place pan on cooling rack and cool completely. This dessert is definitely one that is optimal after it's cooled and set (as opposed to warm.)
  • When ready to serve, remove outer ring on tart pan and slice into small slices. If desired, top with sweetened whipped cream.

Time 1h

Yield 36 bars, 36 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup butter, softened (2 sticks)
1/2 cup sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/3 cups heath bits 'o brickle toffee pieces (8 oz. pkg.)
3/4 cup light corn syrup
1 cup almonds, sliced, divided
3/4 cup sweetened flaked coconut, divided

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F
  • Grease sides of 13x9x2-inch baking pan.
  • Beat butter and sugar until fluffy.
  • Gradually add flour, beating until well blended.
  • Press dough evenly into prepared pan.
  • Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until edges are lightly browned.
  • Meanwhile, combine toffee bits and corn syrup in medium saucepan.
  • Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until toffee is melted (about 10 to 12 minutes).
  • Stir in 1/2 cup almonds and 1/2 cup coconut.

  • Bake an additional 15 minutes or until bubbly.
  • Cool completely in pan on wire rack.
  • Cut into bars.

Tips:

  • For the perfect toffee flavor, use high-quality butter and brown sugar. Look for butter that is unsalted and has a fat content of at least 82%. Brown sugar should be packed tightly in the measuring cup to ensure accurate measurement.
  • To prevent the toffee from burning, cook it over medium heat and stir it constantly. Once the toffee starts to bubble, reduce the heat to low and continue stirring until it reaches the desired consistency.
  • To make sure the almonds are evenly coated in toffee, toss them in the toffee mixture until they are completely covered. Spread the almonds out on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and let them cool completely.
  • For a smooth and creamy filling, use high-quality cream cheese and powdered sugar. Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature before mixing it with the other ingredients.
  • To create a beautiful lattice crust, use two different colors of pie dough. Roll out the doughs to a thickness of 1/8 inch and cut them into strips. Weave the strips together to create a lattice pattern.
  • Before baking the tart, brush the crust with an egg wash. This will help the crust to brown and give it a shiny finish.

Conclusion:

The toffee almond tart is a delicious and impressive dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its rich toffee filling, crunchy almond topping, and flaky crust, this tart is sure to be a hit. Follow the tips above to make the perfect toffee almond tart.
