Remove foil and beans. Bake crust until cooked through ad pale golden, piercing with fork if crust bubbles, about 10 minutes (5 minutes in my oven) longer. Cool crust completely. Reduce oven temperature to 350 F.
3
FOR FILLING: Blend almonds, almond paste and sugar in processor until nuts are finely ground. Add eggs, cream, lemon juice and lemon peel and process until blended. Pour into prepared crust.

5
Push bottom of pan up, releasing the tart and slide onto serving plate (if needed). Arrange berries, cut into wedges and serve with whipped cream.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
