Delicate buttery crusts filled with rich almond cream, soft cherries, and silky caramel.

Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Tart Shells:
  • 1½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • ¼ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1–2 tbsp ice water
  • Pinch of salt
  • For the Almond Cream (Frangipane):
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp almond extract
  • For the Filling & Topping:
  • 1½ cups pitted cherries (fresh or frozen, thawed)
  • ¼ cup caramel sauce (plus extra for drizzling)
  • ¼ cup sliced almonds, lightly toasted
  • Powdered sugar (optional)

Instructions

  1. MAKE THE TART SHELLS: Mix flour, sugar, and salt. Cut in butter until crumbly. Add egg yolk and water just until dough forms. Shape into a disk, wrap, and chill 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll dough and line tartlet pans. Prick bases with a fork and bake 10 minutes until lightly golden. Cool slightly.
  2. PREPARE THE ALMOND CREAM: Beat butter and sugar until fluffy. Add almond flour, egg, and almond extract; mix until smooth.
  3. ASSEMBLE THE TARTLETS: Spoon almond cream into each shell (about ¾ full). Press a few cherries into each and drizzle lightly with caramel sauce.
  4. BAKE TO PERFECTION: Bake 18–22 minutes, or until tops are golden and slightly puffed. Cool for 10 minutes, then drizzle with more caramel and scatter toasted almonds on top.
  5. SERVE & ENJOY: Dust with powdered sugar if desired. Best served slightly warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Swap cherries for raspberries or figs for a seasonal twist.
  • Add a pinch of sea salt to your caramel for depth.
  • These keep beautifully refrigerated up to 3 days.
