Ingredients
Base:
- 1 ⅓ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup unsalted butter cold
- 1 Tbsp sugar
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 to 2 Tbsp ice water
Filling:
- 1 cup cranberry sauce
- ¾ cup raspberry jam
Topping:
- 1 egg white
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 Tbsp almond meal see notes
- 1 cup flaked coconut or shredded, unsweetened, and organic
Instructions
Base:
- Preheat oven to 350℉ (175℃).
- Place the flour, butter and sugar in a bowl, then cut in the cold butter with two knives, until pieces are very small.
- Now, rub the butter into the dry ingredients with your fingers until the mixture is very crumbly, then add the egg yolk and a tablespoon of ice water and mix well.
- If the dough doesn't come together easily, add more water, but do not overwork the pastry dough or else it will become tough.
- Divide the dough into halves and shape into long sausages, then place on flour dusted surface to roll out to about ¼" thick and 3" wide, and the length of the cookie sheet. Raise edges of pastry a little all the way around the perimeter (so the fruit filling will be contained). Place both bases onto Silpat or parchment lined cookie sheet.
Filling:
- Mix the cranberry sauce and jam together until well combined, and spread evenly and not too thickly, on top of both bases.
Topping:
- Beat the egg white in a medium bowl until thick and foamy.
- Add the powdered sugar and almond meal and mix well.
- Spread carefully over the cranberry-raspberry filling. Sprinkle with coconut.
- Place on bottom rack of oven and bake for 20 minutes, then turn 180º and place tray in center of oven for another 10 to 15 minutes, checking every 5 minutes, so that the coconut doesn't burn. It the coconut is turning too dark, cover loosely with a sheet of aluminum foil.
- Remove from oven. Slice into 1" pieces while still warm and before removing from the tray. Move to cooling rack with metal spatula. Store in airtight tin for up to 5 days.
Notes
- Almonds are not nuts, although some nut allergy sufferers are also allergic to almonds
- Use blueberry or strawberry jam for an alternative.
