Tarte

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Tart Shell

    In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, chilled butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add egg yolks and cold water. Mix until the dough comes together. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Bake the Tart Shell

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the dough and fit it into a tart pan. Prick the bottom with a fork and line with parchment paper and pie weights. Bake for 15 minutes, then remove weights and parchment and bake for another 10 minutes until golden. Let cool.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Frangipane Filling

    In a bowl, beat together the almond flour, powdered sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Tart

    Spread apricot jam evenly over the cooled tart shell. Pour the frangipane filling over the jam. Bake the tart for 25-30 minutes until golden and set. Let cool completely.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Earl Grey Ice Cream

    Brew 2 cups of Earl Grey tea and let it cool. In a bowl, whisk together 1 cup of heavy cream, 1 cup of sweetened condensed milk, and the cooled tea. Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions. Freeze until firm.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Slice the tart and serve with a scoop of Earl Grey ice cream and a handful of fresh blueberries on the side.
