Time 3h50m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 13

cooking spray
½ cup white sugar
3 tablespoons butter, softened
¾ cup all-purpose flour
⅓ cup finely chopped almonds
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
¼ cup white sugar
1 egg
¾ teaspoon almond extract
1 (15 ounce) can pears, drained and thinly sliced
1 tablespoon white sugar
¾ teaspoon ground cardamom
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Coat a 9-inch fluted tart pan with a removable bottom with cooking spray.
  • Beat sugar and butter together in a small bowl until crumbly. Beat in flour and almonds. Press over the bottom and up the sides of the prepared tart pan.
  • Beat cream cheese in another small bowl until smooth. Beat in sugar, egg, and vanilla extract. Spread over the crust. Arrange pear slices over the cream cheese layer.
  • Combine sugar, cardamom, and cinnamon in a small bowl. Sprinkle over the pears.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Continue baking until filling is set and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads 160 degrees F (71 degrees C), 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Cool tart on a wire rack for 1 hour. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before slicing.

I was a bit disappointed with this tart. The pears were not as ripe as I would have liked and the almond filling was too sweet for my taste. I would not recommend this recipe.
