Ingredients
  

1 ½ cups almond flour

½ cup all-purpose flour

½ cup powdered sugar

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed

1 large egg yolk

2 tablespoons cold water

1 cup fresh raspberries

1/4 cup granulated sugar (for raspberry filling)

1/2 teaspoon almond extract

1/4 cup sliced almonds, for garnish

Fresh mint leaves, for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Tart Shells: In a large bowl, combine almond flour, all-purpose flour, powdered sugar, and salt. Add the cold, cubed butter and rub it into the flour mixture using your fingers or a pastry cutter until it resembles coarse crumbs.

    Bind the Dough: Add the egg yolk and cold water. Mix until the dough just comes together. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

      Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

        Shape the Tart Shells: Once chilled, roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/8 inch thick. Cut out circles using a cookie cutter or a glass and gently press them into the wells of a mini tart pan.

          Blind Bake: Prick the bottoms with a fork and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let cool.

            Prepare the Raspberry Filling: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the raspberries, granulated sugar, and almond extract. Cook until the raspberries break down and the sugar dissolves, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

              Assemble the Tarts: Spoon the raspberry filling into each tart shell, filling them about 2/3 full.

                Garnish and Bake Again: Sprinkle sliced almonds over the top of each tart. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until the almonds are golden and fragrant.

                  Cool and Serve: Allow the tarts to cool completely in the pan before gently lifting them out. Optionally, garnish with fresh mint leaves before serving.
