Hi Bold Bakers! The weather is heating up and summer is practically on our doorstep, which means that it’s almost peak cherry season! And I love using those beautiful, juicy cherries in desserts that really allow them to shine, like my homemade gluten-free cherry and almond tart! Already have an account? With its rich, sweet almond filling, and fresh juicy cherries, this is a relatively simple tart; but those delicious flavors make it feel so elegant! I don’t think enough people talk about cherries and almonds being a classic flavor combo. A little almond flavoring, in this case, my homemade frangipane, balances any acidity from the cherries perfect, while the cherries give the almond dessert a huge ZAP of life and brightness. Actually, most almond extract is made from cherry pits (or other fruits that belong in the same family), so why wouldn’t we put these two together?
What Is A Gluten-Free Cherry And Almond Tart?
This recipe yields a beautiful, flavorful cherry and almond tart with the bonus of being gluten-free. Instead of a typical pie crust, I use my Gluten-Free Pie Crust recipe, fill it with my homemade frangipane (a recipe I believe every bold baker should have in their back pocket!), and add delicious, fresh pitted cherries. Once baked, those cherries are just bursting with flavor! (Another bonus? You can use frozen cherries in this recipe if you can’t find any nice ones yet!)

Gemma’s Pro Chef Tips For Making Gluten-Free Cherry And Almond Tart
If you don’t have any fresh cherries, or they’re not quite in season yet, feel free to use frozen cherries. Fruits are always packaged during peak season, so they will be just as delicious! Drizzle this tart with some chocolate ganache! Cherries, almonds, and chocolate are an absolute dream team. For a fruity twist, brush a little warmed and strained apricot jam over the tart once it’s baked. You can make this tart with other stone fruit instead of cherries, like peeled apricots, peaches, or plums! Use my Homemade frangipane! Use my Gluten-Free Pie Crust recipe. If you prefer desserts that have gluten, make it using my Homemade Pie Crust.
