Add the cream, a little at a time, and process until the dough just comes together.

Cream

Dough

Transfer to a lightly floured board and gently knead to bring it together. Divide the dough into 2 disks, wrapping both in plastic, and freeze one for another use. Chill the other disk for 30 minutes before rolling out.

Ingredients you will need

Dough

Roll the dough disk into a 12-inch circle on a lightly floured board. Carefully transfer to a 9- or 10-inch tart pan with a removable bottom, pressing any remaining bits and pieces into the edge so that it is a little thicker on the sides. Don’t worry if the dough breaks as you transfer it; simply press the remaining dough into the pan, and/or patch the torn areas with scraps. Prick the bottom with a fork. Freeze the shell.

Meanwhile, to make the filling, grind the almonds with the 2 tablespoons sugar in a food processor until medium fine; you still want to see and feel the texture. Beat the remaining 3/4 cup sugar with the butter in a stand mixer. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until just blended. Beat in the ground almonds, flour, and brandy. Chill the filling long enough for it to firm up just a bit, about 20 minutes.
