BETH’S APRICOT ALMOND TARTLETTE RECIPE
Makes 12 tarts
For Filling:
7 ounces (200g) almond paste
½ cup (120 g) of unsalted butter
3 tbsp (75 g) sugar
2 eggs
½ tsp (2.5 ml) Almond extract
¾ cup (90 g) flour
1 tsp (5 ml) baking powder
½ tsp (2.5 ml) salt
1/3 cup (50 g) sliced raw almonds
Powdered sugar for garnish
12 Apricot halves (6 whole apricots)
2 sheets puffed pastry cut into 3×3 squares
1 container vanilla ice cream
METHOD:
Cream together the almond paste, unsalted butter and sugar.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating in between additions. Add almond extract.
Whisk together the flower, baking powder and salt. Add flour mixture to butter mixture to combine.
Place puffed pastry on a floured surface. Cut pastry into 3×3 squares. Roll out slightly.
Fit squares into a muffin tin that has been lightly sprayed with baking spray. Spoon in 2 tbsp of filling into each cup, top with 1 tsp of almonds and place apricot halves in center.
Pop muffin tin in the freezer for 10 mins (or refrigerator for 15 mins) to firm up.
Meanwhile preheat oven to 400F degrees (200C)
Bake for 20 mins, until pastry is puffed and golden and centers are set.
Allow to cool slightly, dust with powdered sugar, serve with vanilla ice cream.

can I freeze these tartlettes and reheat them for a later occasion? I am a person who don't have much time, but love serving people homemade deserts rather than store bought. So when I have time I bake and freeze so that I can take aand serve whenever needed. These are different from what I usually make and perfect individual size to take out whenever needed for how many I need.
I guess these could be frozen and kept before baking, but I wonder if it is possible after baking as well?
That was a long comment for a simple question, well what to do, hehe...
These are so elegant Beth and really look delicious! Happy Mother's Day to you!
Unfortunately I will not be cooking for Mother on Mother's day being that my parents are back in Portland, Oregon. BUT you will be proud of me, I spent over $200.00 a bit of EVERYTHING including an edible arrangement ( Melons and such).
