Ingredients
For the Crust:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup vegan butter chilled and cubed
- 1/4 cup ice water
- 1/4 tsp salt
For the Almond Cream Filling:
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup vegan butter softened
- 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp almond extract
For the Topping:
- 3-4 ripe peaches thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp sliced almonds
- 2 tbsp apricot jam optional, for glaze
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust: In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt. Cut in the vegan butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together.
- Form the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Make the Almond Cream Filling: In a medium bowl, cream together the vegan butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
- Mix in the almond flour, all-purpose flour, almond milk, vanilla extract, and almond extract until smooth. Set aside.
- Assemble the Tart: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to fit a 9-inch tart pan. Press the dough into the pan and trim any excess.
- Spread the almond cream filling evenly over the crust.
- Arrange the peach slices in a circular pattern over the filling. Sprinkle with sliced almonds.
- Bake: Bake the tart for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the peaches are tender.
- If desired, warm the apricot jam and brush it over the top of the tart for a glossy finish.
- Serve: Allow the tart to cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm or chilled.
Notes
A perfect treat that celebrates the freshness of peaches and the richness of almond cream, this tart is inspired by French pâtisserie, renowned for its delicate and refined desserts. Enjoy a slice with a cup of tea or coffee!
