Ingredients

Scale
  • 5.33 oz all-purpose flour (1 1/4 cups)
  • 1 oz almonds (1/4 cup, finely ground)
  • 2 oz powdered sugar (1/2 cup)
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 5 oz unsalted butter (cold)
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 2.5 oz unsalted butter
  • 2.5 oz powdered sugar (2/3 cup)
  • 1 large egg
  • 2.5 oz finely ground almonds (2/3 cup)
  • 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1/4 tsp almond extract
  • 10 Fuyu persimmons
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • Pomegranate arils (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the tart dough by mixing flour, ground almonds, powdered sugar, and salt in a bowl. Cut in cold butter until crumbly. Add egg yolk, mix until combined, form into a disc, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  2. Make the frangipane filling by creaming butter and powdered sugar until fluffy. Beat in the egg followed by ground almonds, flour, salt, and almond extract until smooth.
  3. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll out chilled dough to fit the tart pan and press it into place. Spread frangipane filling evenly over the base.
  4. Thinly slice persimmons and arrange them on top of the filling.
  5. Bake for about 45 minutes or until golden brown. Allow to cool before drizzling with honey and optional pomegranate arils.
