Berry Almond Bakewell Recipes

LOW SUGAR BERRY ALMOND BAKEWELL TART

Steps:

• Thinly roll out the pastry on a lightly floured surface , then use it to line the base and sides of a 25cm non-stick, loose-based tart tin. You can leave a little overhang of pastry, but trim away any noticeable excess. Prick the base with a fork and chill for 20 mins. Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 and put a baking sheet inside to heat up.
• Line the pastry case with baking parchment, fill with baking beans and cook on the hot sheet for 10 mins - the burst of heat from the baking sheet will help to prevent a soggy bottom. Carefully lift off the paper with the beans and bake for 3 mins more to cook the pastry base. Turn down the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas For the frangipane, put all the ingredients in a large bowl and beat with an electric whisk until well mixed (alternatively, blitz in a food processor). Scatter the raspberries into the pastry case, spoon over the almond mixture and smooth the top with a knife. Scatter over the flaked almonds and bake for 30-40 mins until golden and firm. Carefully trim any excess pastry from the edge of the tart with a sharp knife before serving.

BERRY ALMOND BARS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease a 9x9 inch square baking pan. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Remove from heat and add 1 cup vanilla chips, but do not stir.
• In a large bowl, beat eggs until foamy. Gradually mix in the sugar. Stir together the softened chips and butter, and blend into the egg mixture along with the almond extract. Combine the flour and salt; stir into the batter until just mixed. Spread half of the batter into the prepared pan.
• Bake for 15 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden brown. In a small saucepan, over low heat, warm the jam to make it more liquid. Spread the jam over the warm crust. Stir the remaining cup of vanilla chips into the batter, then drop the rest of the batter by teaspoonfuls over the jam. Sprinkle with almonds.
• Bake for an additional 30 to 35 minutes in the preheated oven, or until a toothpick inserted into the center, comes out clean. Cool in pan on a wire rack before cutting into bars.

• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 and base-line and grease a deep 20cm loose-bottomed cake tin. Blitz the ground almonds, butter, sugar, flour, eggs and vanilla extract in a food processor until well combined.
• Spread half the mix over the cake tin and smooth over the top. Scatter the raspberries over, then dollop the remaining cake mixture on top and roughly spread - you might find this easier to do with your fingers. Scatter with flaked almonds and bake for 50 mins until golden. Cool, remove from the tin and dust with icing sugar to serve.

BERRY ALMOND MORNING BUNS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Make the berry compote: Add the berries and water to a small saucepan over medium heat. Once bubbling, reduce the heat to medium-low and use a wooden spoon to muddle and mash the fruit. Continue cooking for 10-12 minutes, occasionally stirring and mashing the berries, until most of the liquid has evaporated. Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the sugar and vanilla. Transfer the compote to a heat-proof container and let cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
• Make the almond paste: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
• Spread the sliced almonds in an even layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Toast for about 5 minutes, or until the almonds just begin to turn golden brown.
• In a food processor, combine the toasted almonds, flour, brown sugar, and salt. Pulse until the almonds break down to medium crumbs. Add the butter and process until a smooth paste forms. Add the egg and vanilla and continue to process until the egg is fully incorporated. Transfer the almond paste to a small bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 1 week.
• Make the dough: Add the warm milk to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and sprinkle the yeast on top. Let sit for about 3 minutes, until the mixture is frothy.
• Add the eggs, melted butter, salt, and brown sugar and mix on medium-low speed to combine. Add the flour and mix on low speed until combined. Turn off the mixer and let the dough rest for 5 minutes.
• After resting, scrape the dough off the paddle attachment and attach the dough hook to the mixer. Mix on medium speed for 3 minutes, adding up to ½ cup more flour if needed to form a smooth and elastic dough. The dough should not be sticky, but may still stick to the sides of the bowl slightly.
• Grease a large bowl with nonstick spray. Transfer the dough to the bowl and cover with a clean kitchen towel. Let rise at room temperature for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
• Turn out the dough onto a generously floured surface and flour a rolling pin. Roll the dough out to a roughly 18 × 14-inch rectangle. Spread the almond paste over the dough, all the way to the edges. Top with the berry compote, spreading evenly. Starting from a long end, roll the dough up tightly. Transfer the roll to the refrigerator for 30 minutes (this will make cutting easier).
• Use a serrated knife to cut the dough roll into even 9 pieces, then transfer to an 8-inch square baking dish. Cover the pan with a kitchen towel and let the rolls rise for about 30 minutes, or until expanded slightly.
• Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
• Add the heavy cream to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for about 30 seconds, until warm, but not scalding.
• Once the rolls have risen, pour the heavy cream over the top of the rolls, allowing it to soak into and around the rolls.
• Bake the rolls for 20-22 minutes, until light golden brown and the center rolls are cooked through. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
• While the rolls are baking, make the frosting: Add the butter and cream cheese to a medium bowl. Cream with an electric hand mixer on medium speed until light and airy. Add the powdered sugar and mix on low speed to combine. Add the vanilla and mix on medium-high speed for 1-2 minutes, until the frosting is fluffy.
• Spread the frosting over the rolls, then top with sliced almonds and more berries.
• Enjoy!
