My daughter Chloe and I picked so many beautiful raspberries on Tuesday that they deserved a place in a delicious dessert. Excited to try a recipe from a new cookbook I received as a gift at this year's Common Table event at our CSA Quail Hill Farm, Chloe and I decided to make Tarte Amandes et Framboises.

Tarte Amandes et Framboises
What you need:
1 Pie Crust (I made a classic Pate Sucree)
3/4 cup of Blanched Almonds
1/4 Cup Sugar
5 Tablespoons of soft Butter
1 Egg and 1 Egg White
a few drops of Almond Extract
1 to 2 cups of Raspberries
Preheat oven to 375. Roll out dough and line tart pan.
Make almond filling by pulsing almonds and sugar in a food processor until finely ground, but not pasty. Add butter and process until creamy. Mix in egg and egg white and almond extract.
Pour almond cream into pie shell. Scatter raspberries pushing them in gently.
Bake for 55 minutes until golden and let cool on rack.
Slice and serve.
