MARZIPAN TORTE

Raspberry chia seed jam and a sweet almond paste make this low carb, gluten-free Raspberry Frangipane Tart a healthy and indulgent dessert.

Ingredients

Crust:
• 1 1/2 cups almond flour
• 1/3 cup artifical sweetener
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/4 cup butter, chilled and cut into small pieces
• 1 large egg white
Filling:
• 1/4 cup Smuckers sugar free raspberry jam
• 3/4 cup almond flour
• 1/4 cup butter, softened
• 1/3 cup artifical sweetener
• 1 large egg
• 1 large egg yolk
• 1 tsp almond extract
• 2 tbsp slices almonds

Instructions

1. For the crust, preheat oven to 325F and grease 4 4-inch tart pans with removable bottoms. Alternatively, you can do this in one large 9-inch tart pan with removable bottom.
2. In food processor, combine almond flour, sweetener, and salt. Pulse a few times to combine. Sprinkle butter over top and pulse until mixture resembles fine crumbs.
3. Transfer to a bowl and stir in egg white until dough comes together. Divide evenly among prepared tart pans and press into bottom and up sides.
4. Prick bottoms all over with a fork and bake 10 minutes. Remove and let cool 15 minutes.
5. For filling, spread tart bottoms with 1 tablespoon of jam each.
6. In food processor, combine almond flour, softened butter, sweetener, egg, egg yolk and almond extract. Process on low until smooth and creamy.
7. Divide mixture between tarts and spread over jam. Sprinkle with sliced almonds.
8. Bake 30 minutes or until puffed and set. If your crusts are browning too quickly, cover with foil while continuing to bake.
9. Remove and let cool.

NOTE:  You can also use Smuckers sugar free jam or cook down 2 pints of fresh raspberries yourself and skip the splenda
