Apricot tartlet with almond cream
Apricots and almonds are a perfect match. The skin is soft and slightly furry, but they can be eaten without having to be peeled. They taste sweet too without being too juicy.

Ingredients
- 400 gr sweet shortcrust pastry - pate sablee sucrée
- 250 gr almond cream room temperature
- 500 gr small apricots
- 2 tbsp apricot jam or jelly
- Toasted almonds whole or slices
- Soft butter for the mould
- Icing sugar for the mould
Instructions
Prepare the crust
- Brush 4 x 10 cm diameter tartlet moulds with butter and coat with a thin layer of icing sugar. Refrigerate.
- Roll out the shortcrust dough to 1-2 mm on a lightly floured working surface. Cut 4 discs of 15 cm.
- Cover the bottom of each tartlet mould and gently press with your finger so the dough adheres the sides.
- Trim the excess dough with a knife at the top of the rim.
- Prick the bottom of the tartlet lightly and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Prepare the filling
- Wash and cut the apricots in half and remove the stones.
- Use a piping bag with a nozzle N7 to divide the almond cream equally into the 4 tartlets.
- Arrange the halved apricots on the cream.
Baking
- Warm the oven to 180°C and bake the tartlets for 20 minutes.
- Lower the temperature to 160°C and bake for another 20 minutes.
Glazing
- Melt the apricot jam or jelly in the microwave and brush it over the baked tartlets for a nice shiny finish. Garnish with some almonds.
