Remove the tart pan from the freezer and place it on top of a cookie sheet.Shape the dough into a ball, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill the dough in the refrigerator for 30 – 45 minutes. Add the confectioners’ sugar to the dough remaining in the bowl and mix it in.Put the pan in the freezer for 45 minutes. Use your fingers to push the dough up the sides and your palms to flatten the dough into the bottom of the pan. Add a little more than half of this dough to a 9” tart pan, pressing the dough into the bottom of the pan and up the sides, creating a roughly 1/3-inch crust.Add the ground nuts, potato starch, and granulated sugar mix until well combined. Using an electric mixer on high speed, beat the butter until soft.The nuts should be finely ground, but not ground to the point that they are smooth and buttery.

If your nuts aren’t pre-ground, grind them in a food processor using a series of very short pulses.

It’s better to err on the side of not-quite-fine-enough than going too far into the nut butter stage! I made three separate batches in my food processor, and each took maybe 100 half-second pulses. The best way to achieve the right texture is with lots of very brief pulses with small batches of nuts. I also ground my own nuts for this – you can use any combination of nuts, totaling 3 cups after grinding. I made mine with butter, but if you’re serving meat for your Passover dinner, use margarine instead.

The dough is a little fragile, but I found that I could patch it together easily if it started to tear. But let me assure you, it’s well worth the effort. It’s not quite the same one bowl, one whisk ease as the chocolate ganache cake. It’s a little more work than some other desserts. I definitely won’t be waiting until next Passover to make this again!

I’d never expect something I made specifically for Passover to wind up as one of my favorite things I’ve made, but it really is that good. The dough was surprisingly easy to work with, baked up beautifully, and cut cleaner than many flour-filled pie and tart dough recipes I’ve used in the past.Īnd most importantly, the finished tart is delicious. I’ve never attempted a crust based so heavily on nuts and wasn’t sure how it would work out.

This year, it was a gluten free linzer tart: a perfectly crunchy crust, made from a combination of ground almonds, walnuts, and hazelnuts, spread with a thick layer of raspberry jam. So when my father comes to town, I can’t resist making something that I know we’ll both enjoy. My coworkers are the biggest bunch of chocoholics I’ve encountered. His friends always want something that combines chocolate with peanut butter or oreos. My husband and his entire family are all about chocolate or cheesecakes. I have a very tiny target audience when it comes to others who like fruit: basically, my father. When it came time to plan out the desserts for Saturday’s family Seder, I couldn’t resist going back to my personal wheelhouse when it comes to desserts – fruit based. Last week, I shared a flourless chocolate ganache cake that I made for Friday night’s Seder with our neighbors. Anytime you need a gluten free dessert? Yes, yes, yes! Thanksgiving? Yes, yes (feel free to use cornstarch instead of potato starch). Why not make the last night equally special and make this gluten free linzer tart for dessert on Friday night? But make no mistake – this isn’t just for Passover. Seder dinners are always big feasts, with lots of food, but the remaining 6 nights tend to turn into a mishmash of unplanned things thrown together at the last minute. We’re about halfway through Passover today, which probably means that you’re finishing up the leftovers of the desserts you made for Seder. This gluten free linzer tart uses a nut based crust, a raspberry jam filling, and is one of the best things you’ll ever make – gluten free or not.įor those you who celebrate, I hope everyone had an enjoyable weekend of Passover (or Easter).
