  • 1/4 cup Granulated Sugar Substitute
  • 1 pinch Salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon Cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon Hershey’s Special Dark cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 4 tablespoons Butter or Margarine
  • 1 Egg

  • 1-2 Brandy (*Optional)
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1/2 pint Raspberries, lightly sweetened (*Do NOT cook berries)

Directions

Step 1. CRUST: In a food processor with a steel blade pulse all of the dry ingredients until very well combined and the almonds disappear into the mixture.
Step 2. Add cold butter and pulse until butter is well distributed in the flour mixture.
Step 3. Add the egg and pulse until mixture forms a ball on the blade. (Sometimes you will need to add a little water to make it form the ball).
Step 4. Remove dough pat into a disc about 5-6’’. Wrap disc in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least ½ hour but overnight will also work.
Step 5. FILLING: In the same processor combine GRANULATED SUGAR SUBSTITUTE and eggs. Whip on high speed until combined. Add sour cream, brandy and vanilla and mix until well combined. Taste for balance of flavor.
Step 6. Roll out dough on a floured surface to form a crust about the 50% larger than the size of an 8 inch tart pan. Spray pan all over and press the dough into it. (don’t panic, it always falls apart a little. Just press it into place).
Step 7. Pour filling into pan. Sprinkle with almonds and GRANULATED SUGAR SUBSTITUTE and dot with butter
Step 8. Bake at. 350 for 30 minutes until crust is browned and custard is set.
Step 9. Sprinkle the berries with 1-2 tablespoons of Granulated sugar substitute and arrange in concentric circles until tart is filled.
Step 10. * Sliced almonds & GRANULATED SUGAR SUBSTITUTE for a topping
