- Preliminaries: First, lightly butter the tart pans (this butter is not included in the ingredient list) and chill the pans in the refrigerator.
- Prelimaries: Next, sift together the flour and almond powder.
- Bring the butter to room temperature.
- Beat the softened butter with a whisk until creamy.
- Add the powdered sugar 1/3 at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Thoroughly mix in the egg yolk a little at a time.
- Add the sifted flour and almond powder and cut it into the mixture with a rubber spatula.

- Rest the dough in the refrigerator overnight.
- Sandwich the dough between two sheets of plastic wrap and roll out to about 2mm thickness.

- Chill the lined pans again.
- Line the dough with kitchen parchment paper and fill with pie weights.
- Bake in an oven at 180 C for about 20 minutes.
- When the crust is lightly browned, remove the weights and bake for another 15 minutes.

- Add the powdered sugar in 3 batches, and thoroughly mix it into the cream cheese between additions.
- Thoroughly mix in the heavy cream a little at a time.
- Fill each tart crust halfway with the mixture from Step 11 and chill in the refrigerator.
