Tea Time Raspberry Almond Crumble Tart

ByPink Piccadilly Pastries

Today I made a yummy, crumbly Raspberry Almond Tart 
for Teatime! It’s one of those recipes that use the same 
mixture for the top and bottom of the tart. Makes it so 
easy to put together!!
Don’t worry if your grocery store doesn’t have any
fresh raspberries, because you don’t need them! This 
recipe calls for frozen raspberries, so you can make this 
tart any time of the year!
I’ve had this pretty rectangular tart pan forever!! I’m so 
glad to finally get to use it!! It’s a loose based tart pan so
after cooling, just push the tart out of the frame and slice
on the base.
To make this recipe, you make the tart dough, 
then place approximately 2/3 of it between
2 pieces of parchment paper and roll it out until it’s
large enough to line your tart pan. 
Next, peel off the top piece of parchment, turn the paper 
pastry side down and ease the dough into the pan, 
pressing into corners and sides. Don’t worry if it 
breaks, just pinch back together. Prick pastry base 
with a fork and refrigerate for 30 minutes (along
with the reserved pastry.)
Place tart base on a baking sheet and bake for 10
minutes. Remove from oven, sprinkle raspberries
over base, then crumble remaining dough over
raspberries. Bake for 20 more minutes, or until
browned.
Let cool in the pan, then sprinkle with powdered 
sugar. Cut into 4 or 5 slices.
Serve with some homemade whipped cream
and fresh raspberries, if desired.
This recipe is perfect for an intimate tea with a few friends.
A large cozy teapot filled with your favorite tea, generous 
slices of raspberry tart served on pretty vintage plates, and 
maybe some (not too dainty) chicken salad tea sandwiches!! 
Perfect! I made some Raspberry Zinger Herbal Tea which 
you can find at most grocery stores. It’s really good!!
I have to say that the tart was not very pretty before
I sprinkled it with the powdered sugar! This little 
extra step really made my tart look extra special!!

  1. Oh YUM! YOu've done it again!

    First – this sounds absolutely delicious and something my husband would maybe even eat – which he seldom does (sweets, that is.) Secondly – my word you take beautiful pictures! I have a tea friend coming for lunch Tuesday – perhaps this is what I shall make us! Thank you for the inspiration and recipe! : – )
