Number Of Ingredients 11

3 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chilled
3/4 cup sugar
5 ounces (about 1 cup) whole unblanched almonds
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pinch of salt
9 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1 large egg
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 cup lingonberry jam, or raspberry jam
Confectioners' sugar, for dusting

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Break chocolate into small pieces. In the bowl of a food processor, combine chocolate, sugar, and almonds, and pulse until finely ground, about 45 seconds.
  • Add flour, cinnamon, and salt, pulsing three or four times to combine. Add butter, pulsing until mixture resembles coarse meal. Transfer to a bowl.
  • In a small bowl, combine egg and lemon juice. Add to flour mixture, stirring with a fork until mixture comes together.
  • Place an 8-inch springform pan or bottomless tart ring on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Press about two-thirds of the dough into the ring, forming a 1/2-inch-thick crust. Crust should be thicker on the edges, coming to a height of 1 inch on the ring.
  • Using a rubber spatula, spread jam evenly over bottom of crust.
  • Divide remaining dough into quarters. Flour work surface and hands well, and roll dough into long thin ropes about 1/3 inch in diameter. Arrange decoratively along top of tart, pressing gently to slightly flatten ropes.
  • Bake tart until slightly golden brown around the edges, about 50 minutes. Let cool to room temperature. Chill, and dust lightly with confectioners' sugar before serving.
