Almond Oat And Berry Tart Recipes

ALMOND, OAT AND BERRY TART RECIPE

Steps:

• Start by making the crust. Add oats, almond meal, cornstarch and sea salt to a medium bowl, whisking to combine. Add coconut oil, honey and vanilla to the bowl, then mix together using a fork. Transfer the dough (it will be crumbly) to an 11-inch tart pan with removable bottom. Press the dough evenly across the bottom and up the sides of the tart pan. If the dough gets sticky, you can use the bottom of a measuring cup to press and flatten. Cover with plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for 30 minutes.
• While the dough is chilling, prepare the almond custard. Add sugar, sea salt, cornstarch and egg yolks to a medium bowl, whisking until well-combined. Warm almondmilk in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until steam starts rising off the surface and small bubbles form around the edge. Don't let this come to a boil.
• Take the almondmilk off the heat, and slowly pour half of it into the egg mixture, whisking the eggs as you pour. This is called tempering. Pour the tempered egg mixture into the saucepan with the remaining almondmilk, and return heat to medium. Let cook, whisking constantly, until thickened (about 2 minutes). Take the saucepan off the heat and whisk in coconut oil and vanilla extract. Pour thickened custard into a bowl, and immediately cover the surface with plastic wrap, making sure the plastic is in direct contact with the custard. Let cool to room temperature, then chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours.
• While the custard is chilling, finish the crust. Preheat an oven to 350°F and set an oven rack to the middle position. Using a fork, poke holes all over the bottom of the chilled crust. Place the crust on a rimmed baking sheet, and bake until golden and fragrant (20 - 25 minutes). Transfer the crust to a cooling rack, and cool completely before filling.
• Spoon the chilled almond custard into the cooled crust, and using an offset spatula, smooth the top. Scatter berries all over the top of the tart, piling higher in the middle and leaving some custard showing around the outer edge. Finish with a sprinkling of small, picked mint leaves.

FRESH BERRY & ALMOND TARTS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°. On a lightly floured surface, unroll pastry sheets. Roll dough to 1/8-inch thickness. Cut each with a floured 3-in. cookie cutter to make eight circles or other shapes. Transfer to ungreased baking sheets; prick holes in pastries with a fork., Bake 8-10 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool completely., Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix cream cheese, confectioners' sugar and almond extract until blended. Spread over cooled pastries. Top with berries, pressing lightly to adhere. Sprinkle with almonds and, if desired, confectioners' sugar. Refrigerate leftovers.

MIXED BERRY CRUMBLE WITH OATS AND ALMONDS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 190°C/ 375°F/ Gas Mark 5.
• Put the filling ingredients into a pan over low heat and cook for about 4 minutes or until the fruit just begins to soften. Tip the fruit into an ovenproof dish and set this aside.
• Put the oats, ground almonds, dates, butter, 2 teaspoons of the ground ginger and the vanilla seeds into a bowl and, using your fingertips, rub this gently together to just combine so everything is evenly mixed in. Tip the crumble topping over the fruit and then sprinkle over the remaining 1 teaspoon of ground ginger.
• Pop into the oven and cook for about 25 minutes or until the crumble is just going golden brown. Once cooked, remove from the oven and leave to cool for a few minutes before serving.

ALMOND TART

Steps:

• Prepare the crust: Preheat oven to 400 degrees with rack in center. Butter a 10-inch tart pan with a removable bottom; set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk to combine flour, sugar, and salt. In a small glass measuring cup, stir together butter, vanilla, and 1/2 tablespoon water; pour over flour mixture. Stir to combine. With floured hands, press dough into prepared pan. Bake for 10 minutes. Remove tart shell from oven, and reduce heat to 350 degrees.
• Prepare the filling: In a large bowl, stir together almonds, heavy cream, sugar, egg, almond extract, Grand Marnier, and salt. Pour filling into crust. Bake tart on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet until golden brown, about 45 minutes.

ROSE-SCENTED BERRY TART WITH AN ALMOND SHORTBREAD CRUST

Steps:

• For the crust, place 1/4 cup flour and the almonds in a food processor. Run until the almonds are finely ground, about 1 minute. Pulse in remaining one and a quarter cups flour, sugar, lemon zest and salt.
• Add the butter and pulse until a coarse meal forms. Add the egg and pulse until the dough comes together. Press dough into a disk, wrap in plastic, and chill for 4 hours or up to a week.
• To make the pastry cream, pull the rose petals from the stem and drop into a heavy saucepan. Pour in milk and bring to a simmer. Remove from heat, cover, and let stand 1 hour. Strain and discard petals; pour liquid into pot and return to a simmer. (If you are using rosewater, skip the steeping; bring milk to a simmer and stir in the rosewater off the heat.)
• In a medium bowl, whisk flour and sugar. Slowly whisk in the hot milk. Return mixture to the saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture just starts to boil, 1 to 2 minutes.
• In a large bowl, whisk yolks until pale and thick. Whisking constantly, pour the hot milk mixture into the yolks. Return the mixture to the saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until custard is thick and smooth (170 degrees on an instant-read thermometer). Do not let the mixture boil. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve. Chill 1 hour before using or up to 5 days.
• When ready to bake the tart, roll the dough out between two sheets of plastic to a 3/8-inch thickness. Remove plastic and line a 9-inch tart pan with the dough; chill for 30 minutes.
• Heat the oven to 325 degrees. Line the tart shell with foil and fill with baking weights. Bake for 20 minutes, then remove the foil and weights. Continue baking, uncovered, for 5 to 10 more minutes, until pale golden. Allow tart shell to cool completely before filling.
• Spoon chilled pastry cream into cooled tart shell. Arrange berries over the top of the tart. Serve within 2 hours for the best texture.

VEGAN ALMOND BERRY BAKED OATS

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 190C/170C fan/ gas 5. Tip the oats into a heatproof bowl, then pour over 450ml boiling water from the kettle. Stir well, then stir in the vanilla and almond milk.
• Mash the banana, then spread over the base of a medium baking dish (ours was a 20 x 28cm oval) and stir in the frozen fruit to fully combine. You want the banana to sweeten the berries, but you can add 1 tsp maple syrup, if you like. Pour over the oat mixture and scatter with the almonds. Bake for 30-40 mins until set and the fruit juices are bubbling at the edges of the dish. Scoop into bowls and serve with a little extra milk, if you like.

BAKED OATMEAL WITH BERRIES AND ALMONDS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Brush a 9x13-inch baking dish generously with some of the butter.
• Scatter berries in bottom of baking dish in an even layer.
• In a small bowl, whisk together oatmeal, almonds, baking powder, and salt.
• In a large bowl, whisk together remaining melted butter, milk, eggs, sugar, vanilla or almond extract, and nutmeg. Whisk oat mixture into milk mixture, then pour it over the berries, shaking the baking dish to evenly distribute liquid and oats.
• Bake until firm and pale golden, 35 to 45 minutes. Serve warm, sprinkled with more sugar, if you like.

BLUEBERRY & ALMOND TART

Steps:

• Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Beat together the butter and sugar until it is light and fluffy, about 1 min. Stir in the almonds, egg and almond extract.
• Stir in half the blueberries and spoon into the pastry case. Smooth the top using the back of a metal spoon, then scatter over the remaining blueberries, pressing them in lightly. Bake for 45-50 mins until the pastry is crisp and golden, and the filling is golden and feels firm to the touch.
• Cool the tart for 10 mins in the tin, then lift onto a serving plate. Dust with a little icing sugar and serve warm or at room temperature.
