I don´t have my own apricots this year, they all fell from the tree or the tree had some infection, I don´t know. At least there is still someone who is willing to give a few of them to me or I can buy them on a market. I was thinking what to do with them and I eventually made Apricot Almond Cheesecake Pudding Tart. Tart is made with traditional tart dough with almond flour addition. Then, there is cheesecake filling with eggs and powder vanilla custard. Later, you add apricots and put all this in an oven. Right before the end of the baking, you sprinkle the tart with almond slices which contributes to the subtle almond flavor. So you get the taste of almonds, vanilla and apricots, all in one tart – in the crispy dough and in the creamy filling. Moreover, tart is not too sweet so even those who don´t like too sweet cakes will like it.
