I discovered Solo Almond Cake and Pastry Filling (affiliate link, which means you pay the same but I earn income if you make a purchase using this link) at a local grocery store the other day and had to give it a try right away! I made this delicious tart using a sugar cookie crust and barely sweetened whipped cream -- it's an almond lover's dream! If you'd rather use a homemade tart shell, I love this recipe. I'd just increase the powdered sugar in your whipped cream to 1/4 cup if you go that route. Enjoy!

Serves: 10-15
Ingredients
  • 1 roll (16.5 oz) refrigerated sugar cookie dough
  • about 1/2 of a (12.5-ounce) can Solo Almond Cake and Pastry Filling (affiliate link)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1/4 cup sliced almonds
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and lightly grease a round tart pan. Slice the cookie dough into even slices and lay them out in the pan. Press the dough into the pan and up the sides. Dock the middle of the dough well with a fork. Bake the shell for 15-20 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove to a cooling rack to cool completely.
  2. Spread about 1/2 can of Solo Almond Cake and Pastry Filling over the crust, forming a thin and even layer. In a large bowl, beat the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and almond extract to stiff peaks. Spread over the almond filling. Sprinkle on sliced almonds. Chill the tart until firm, slice, and serve.
