Ingredients
  

  • pie crust store bought or homemade
  • 100 grams room temperature butter
  • 100 grams sugar
  • 100 grams almond flour
  • 3 Tablespoons flour
  • 1 egg
  • 1 Tablespoon amaretto
  • 2 pears

Cream:

  • 1/2 cup mascarpone cheese room temperature
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 3 Tablespoons amaretto
  • 3 Tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste or extract

Instructions
 

  • Use a kitchen scale to measure the ingredients. I love using a kitchen scale, it makes a better end product.
  • Cream together butter and sugar. Add almond flour and regular flour.
  • Add egg and amaretto. Mix until combined.
  • Press the pie dough in a tart pan. Peel and slice the pears into thin slices. I like to keep the slices together, they look so beautiful when you lay them into the tart pan.
  • Spread the almond filling into the bottom of the tart.
  • Press the pears into the filling. Bake in a 350-degree oven for 35 to 45 minutes. The filling will puff a little and the crust will be golden brown. Let cool in pan for 10 to 15 minutes, then remove from pan. Let cool completely.
  • Make the cream by whipping mascarpone and heavy cream until thick, add powdered sugar, amaretto, and vanilla bean paste.
  • Sprinkle tart with powdered sugar and serve with amaretto cream.
