Rustic French Chocolate Almond Tarte with Sea Salt

Ingredients

Instructions

1. 1 Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. 2 In a large bowl, combine sifted all-purpose flour, almond flour, and granulated sugar. Add the cubed cold butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3. 3 Add the vanilla extract, lightly beaten egg, and a pinch of sea salt to the flour mixture. Mix until the dough just comes together. Form into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
4. 4 Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface to fit your tart pan. Press the dough into the pan and trim the excess. Use a fork to prick the base all over.
5. 5 Place the tart crust in the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove from oven and let it cool.
6. 6 For the filling, heat the heavy cream in a saucepan over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Remove from heat and add the chopped dark chocolate, stirring until smooth.
7. 7 Stir in the almond butter and mix until fully incorporated. Pour the chocolate mixture into the cooled tart shell.
8. 8 Sprinkle the top with toasted sliced almonds and sea salt. Allow the tart to set at room temperature for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving.
