Almond cream is a  classic French preparation. A kind of healthy dessert. Studies have shown that eating nuts decreases the risk of heart disease and provides tons of other benefits. Going nuts is a healthier choice. Cashew crust and almond cream loaded with berries. what else can a healthy dessert compose of.  Lets just neglect the little sugar :).

For me the best part of any meal is appetizers and desserts. I love making desserts, that the favorite part of my cooking too. The only problem I have is I cannot have more than two servings of even my favorite  dessert, which is good in a way or else I would have to spend all my extra time working out I guess. This gives me the reason to  try making only one dessert per week.
when I was going through the book “Baking”, this was the 1st recipe that caught my eye. This book has amazing baking recipes but somehow almond cream just sounded too good.  I thought why not make a cashew crust and top it with berries to give it the healthy wow factor.

    Yummylicious……is the only word to describe this. I had the cashew cream version of this and it was a perfect east-meets-west dessert.
    My dessert of choice, from now on! Thanks Teena 🙂

    This is a neat recipe – and I love the picture! I'll have to find a way to replace the egg. Look forward to attempting this!

    hey, so if i want to make a smaller tart, what proportions will i need to reduce stuff by?

      Hey Ashwini, you are the 1st to comment on my blog. So thank you very much.
      I haven't tried this tart in a smaller pan, so cannot be 100% sure of the outcome, but assuming that you are using half the size of the pan I used, reducing the proportions by 1/3 and keeping one egg shouldn't hurt. Also bake till the top is light brown.
      Please let me know how it works out.
