Mini Raspberry Almond Tarts: Fruity Goodness in One Bite!
This is not your ordinary fruit tart–these goodies have the sweetness of the raspberries, pair perfectly with the almond crust, and make for a refreshing snack. They are the perfect little treat that is so easy to make, and the fact that it’s a mini version makes eating less hassle.
The Filling and the Crust
Okay, let’s discuss the components of these cute little tarts. For the crust, we will be using a combination of almond and all-purpose flour. The presence of almond flour will give it a nutty, moist, and tasty tart crust. As for the filling, you can use raspberry preserves or jam. You can find these jams in grocery stores, but you can also make your own from scratch if you want to control the sugar content. Also, aside from the raspberry, you can use any other fruit in season or combine both, like making mixed berries or adding some lemon or mangoes.
Delicious Raspberry and Why it’s Good For You
Raspberries are one of the healthiest fruits. It is packed with lots of nutrients. One 100-gram portion of raspberries provides 23 mg of vitamin C plus, the vitamin C in raspberries increases your body’s fat-burning ability. It also contains manganese, calcium, and vitamin K, which play a role in bone health. But this doesn’t mean you need to indulge in these desserts so much. Since these are sweet and contain lots of sugar, too, eating them in moderation is still advised.
Let’s Make it Vegan
Making this yummy treat into a vegan snack is easy peasy. You have to swap the butter with a vegan option, or if you can’t find one, you can use coconut oil instead. This will be enough to hold the shape of your dough, and it will add a coconut-nutty taste and be a lot cheaper too.
Mini Raspberry Almond Tarts
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup butter cubed
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
- 1/2 cup raspberry jam or preserves
- powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Prepare a mini muffin or tart pan by lining it with mini paper muffin liners while prepping the oven to 350 degrees.
- To make the crust, combine flour, almond flour, butter, sugar, salt, baking powder, vanilla, and almond extract.
- Use a blender or food processor to mix all together until you form a dough.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface until it comes together and becomes smooth.
- To make an even-sized shell, use a cookie scoop and form tight dough balls. Roll them using your palms.
- Once done, place each dough ball into the muffin pans with liners.
- Press the dough into the muffin pan and slightly shape it like a crust.
- Place the raspberry preserves in a piping bag and pipe-filling into your crust. When baked, the preserves will sink slightly, so fill the holes a little too full.
- You can also add raspberry bits for an extra bite.
- For 13 to 15 minutes, bake the tarts at 350 degrees. They need about 20 minutes to cool completely in the pan before they become too crumbly to remove. To lift them out, I like to use a butter knife.
- This is optional, but you can dust the tarts with confectioners' sugar and store them for up to five days in an airtight container.
