  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Almond Cream:

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter room temperature
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 large eggs room temperature
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/8 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt

TART CRUST:

  • 1 1/4 cups all purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup cold butter cut into cubes
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoons heavy whipping cream
  • 1 lb green grapes or you can use sliced strawberries wash and dried

Instructions

ALMOND CREAM:

  • Beat the butter using an electric mixer, or spatula. Beat until smooth.
  • Add sugar and add the egg one at a time and mix in between.
  • Add the almond flour, vanilla extract and salt.
  • Beat until there's no lumps.
  • Set aside.

PIE CRUST:

    USING A PROCESSOR:

    • I am using 9 inch tart pan.
    • Place the flour, sugar, and salt in the bowl of a food processor, stand mixer, or in a medium mixing bowl.
    • Pulse twice and add in the butter. Pulse 6 times and add in the vanilla extract, whipping cream and the egg, process/mix/stir until the dough gathers itself into a ball and pulls away cleanly from the sides of the bowl. Transfer in a plastic.
    • Wrap the dough tightly in plastic wrap, and chill for 1 hour.
    • On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough to a thickness of about 1/8-inch.
    • Press the dough gently into the tart pan and using your finger, spread dough on the side of the pan. Use the plastic to smoothen the dough.

    NO PROCESSOR:

    • Place butter in a bowl and mix until smooth.
    • Add the sugar and mix. Add the vanilla and add in the flour, egg, and small amount of heavy cream - start with 1/2 tablespoon.
    • Continue mixing until mixture come together.
    • Transfer dough in a plastic and form into a round circle.
    • Refrigerate for 1 hour.

    SWEET WHIPPED CREAM:

    • Place cream cheese in an electric mixer bowl.
    • Attach in wire whipped attachment.
    • Mix cream cheese until smooth.
    • Add in the vanilla and the powdered sugarĀ  and whipped in high until no cram cheese lumps.
    • Add whipped cream by third and mix in each interval.
    • Mix until stiff peaks.
    • Put in the fridge until needed.

    TO ASSEMBLE GRAPE TART:

    • Pre heat oven at 340 F
    • Pour almond cream in the pie crust and spread on the pan
    • Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown on top.
    • Let cool and spread sweet whipped cream frosting using a spoon or a piping bag.
