Yield Serves 12

Number Of Ingredients 16

For crust
1 cup all purpose flour
1 cup cake flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) chilled unsalted butter, cut into pieces
2 tablespoons (or more) ice water
For filling
3 large egg whites
Pinch of salt
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
2 cups fresh cranberries or frozen, thawed
1/2 cup coarsely chopped almonds
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Powdered sugar

Steps:

  • Make crust:
  • Combine both flours and salt in processor. Add butter; cut in, using on/off turns, until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add 2 tablespoons water; process until moist clumps form, using on/off turns. If dough is dry, add more water by teaspoonfuls to moisten. Gather dough into ball. Flatten into disk. Wrap in plastic; chill 1 hour. (Can be made 3 days ahead. Keep chilled. Let stand at room temperature to soften slightly before rolling.)
  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Roll out dough on floured surface to 14-inch round. Transfer to 10-inch tart pan with removable bottom. Trim to fit. Line crust with foil. Fill with dried beans or pie weights. Bake 15 minutes. Remove foil and beans; bake until golden, about 10 minutes. Cool completely on rack. Maintain oven temperature.
  • Make filling:
  • Using electric mixer, beat egg whites and salt in large bowl until frothy. Gradually beat in 3/4 cup sugar and lemon. Beat until stiff but not dry. Mix cranberries, almonds, cornstarch and cinnamon in medium bowl; gently fold into whites in 3 additions. Transfer filling to crust. Smooth top.
  • Bake tart until tester inserted into center comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Cool on rack. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover; store at room temperature.)
  • Sift powdered sugar over tart. Cut into wedges and serve.

This tart was easy to make and turned out great! The cranberry filling was the perfect balance of tart and sweet, and the meringue topping was light and fluffy. I will definitely be making this again.

This tart was a bit too tart for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. The crust was flaky and the meringue was fluffy, but the cranberry filling was just too sour for me. I think I would have liked it better if I had used a sweete
