Almond Bakewell Tart
The Bakewell tart may be Britain's greatest culinary contribution to the dessert table-a traditional tart with a flavor that is beyond belief. Our Almond Bakewell Tart recipe includes an almond-frangipane filling with a thin layer of raspberry jam underneath for a classic flavor combination of almonds and raspberries that we think is as good, if not better, than the British classic tart.
Bakewell tart is steeped in a rich history dating back to the early 1900s. The Bakewell tart recipe has changed little from its origins, featuring a buttery shortbread crust, a moist almond-frangipane filling, and a layer of jam or preserves tucked underneath. It's all topped with slivered almonds for an elegant, rich, and addictive dessert.
Our version of the Bakewell tart is a stellar representation of the original and one of our favorite desserts. The thin layer of raspberry preserves gives the tart an elegant flavor profile, and it's a subtle change that makes all the difference.
The Almond Bakewell Tart is one of our several British-inspired desserts, which also include our Sticky Toffee Pudding and Ted Lasso(TM) Biscuits with the Boss shortbread cookies-all are excellent choices. Serve with tea, a la mode, or however you like. There are no wrong choices here. Each 8" Bakewell Tart slices to serves 6-8.
