Serves 6

Ingredients:

  • For the dough: 120 g flour, 120 g yoghurt, 60 g unsalted butter, a pinch of salt
  • Almond cream: 40 g unsalted butter softened, 50 g light brown sugar, 50 g ground almond, 1 egg
  • Topping: 7 ripe white peaches, 20 g light brown sugar, 6 whole almonds, Olive oil
  • Garnish: A few fresh mint leaves, a few raspberries

Method:

  1. Prepare the dough: On a work surface, mound the flour and make a well in the centre. Add the well-drained yogurt, the room-temperature butter, and a pinch of salt. Quickly mix with your fingertips until you get a smooth, supple dough. Shape into a ball, wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 200 °C (400 °F / Gas Mark 6).
  1. Make the almond cream: In a mixing bowl, combine the butter, brown sugar, and ground almond. Blend until smooth. Add the egg and blend again until fully incorporated.
  1. Prepare the peaches: Peel the peaches, cut them into quarters, then slice each quarter in half to obtain thin wedges.
  1. Assemble the tart: Take the dough out of the refrigerator and roll it out into a thin circle on a sheet of baking paper. Lightly sprinkle with brown sugar, then pass the rolling pin over to press it in. Fold the edges inward to form a border.
  1. Add the filling: Spread the almond cream evenly over the dough base. Arrange the peach slices in a rosette pattern. Sprinkle with brown sugar and add a few whole almonds on top. Place the tart in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes before baking.
  1. Bake the tart : Transfer the tart to a baking sheet and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until the pastry is golden brown and the fruit is slightly caramelized.
  1. Let it cool, then decorate with raspberries and a few mint leaves.
