Ingrédients dont vous aurez besoin

Alright, grab your shopping list because here’s what you need. No scary ingredients unless you consider flour a little intimidating.

250g de farine (because a tart needs a solid base)
125g de beurre (the good stuff)

90g de sucre (sweeten that deal)
1 œuf (just one, let’s not get carried away)

1 pincée de sel (the secret ingredient to make everything better)
200g de mirabelles (the stars of the show)
100g de poudre d’amandes (for that nutty flavor)

100g de crème fraîche (richness overload)
1 œuf supplémentaire pour la crème d’amandes (yes, another egg)
1 cuillère à café d’extrait d’amande (just because)

Instructions étape par étape

Now that we’ve got our arsenal, let’s get our hands dirty. Follow these short and sweet steps to success in the world of Tarte Mirabelles.

Préchauffez le four à 180°C. (Set it and forget it for a bit)
Mélangez la farine, le beurre, le sucre, l’œuf et le sel pour faire la pâte sablée. (Mix until it’s like a sandy play-dough, but edible)

Étalez la pâte et placez-la dans un moule à tarte. (Don’t get too picky—rustic is in)
Dans un bol, mélangez la poudre d’amandes, la crème fraîche, l’œuf supplémentaire et l’extrait d’amande pour la crème d’amandes. (Whisk it like you mean it)
Répartissez les mirabelles sur la pâte, puis versez la crème d’amandes dessus. (Layer it up, baby)

Enfournez pendant 30 minutes. (And maybe take a dance break while you wait)
Laissez refroidir avant de servir. (Patience is a virtue—even in baking)

Erreurs courantes à éviter

Now, let’s talk about some rookie moves you definitely want to steer clear of while making this tart.

Thinking you don’t need to preheat the oven—rookie mistake. Your tart deserves a nice warm hug when it enters the oven.
Forgetting to grease your tart pan. Nothing says “oops” quite like a tart stuck in its pan.

Skipping the almond extract. Seriously, just don’t do it, okay? It takes everything to the next level.
Using stale mirabelles. No one wants fruit that tastes like it went out last night and just won’t quit.

Alternatives et substitutions

We all like to switch things up a bit, right? Here are some ideas for alternatives or substitutions if you’re feeling adventurous or if you realize you’re missing something last minute.

Farine: If you want a gluten-free option, almond flour works too. Just be ready for a denser tart.
Beurre: You can use coconut oil if you want a dairy-free twist. Just know it will taste a bit different but still yummy.
Mirabelles: Don’t have mirabelles? Use any ripe stone fruit like peaches or plums. Get creative, my friend!

Crème fraîche: Greek yogurt works if you’re feeling healthy, but it’s like bringing a salad to a burger party. Just sayin’.

FAQ (Questions fréquentes)

Peut-on utiliser de la margarine à la place du beurre ? Well, technically yes, but seriously, why hurt your soul like that? Butter is where the magic is.

Est-ce que je peux faire cette tarte à l’avance ? You bet! Just cool it completely before wrapping it up. No need for a last-minute panic.

Les mirabelles doivent-elles être pitted ? Unless you and your teeth enjoy pain, take those pits out. Trust me, you’ll thank me later.

Et si je n’ai pas d’extrait d’amande ? Use vanilla extract instead. It might not be as fancy, but hey, vanilla is a classic.

Est-ce que ça se congèle bien ? Yes, buddy! Just slice it up and flash freeze those pieces. You’ll be the hero of dessert when friends drop by unexpectedly.
