I made this for a recipe contest that had the theme: "Birthday party recipes." I thought birthdays means cake, and 40th anniversary (of the sponsoring company) means a cake for adults. So, I folded rum soaked raisins into the base almond cream, and topped it with cream cheese, which goes so well with rum-raisin flavor.
I made the basic tart crust and the almond cream to suit my taste.

It may seem like there are a lot of steps, but it's basically just mix, and rest, etc - quite easy.
In step 17, brushing the crust with rum is optional. You can omit it if you like.
Any leftover pastry dough can be made into cookies.
Please adjust the baking time and temperature according to your oven. Recipe by Youtank

Wrap the dough in plastic wrap, and leave to set in the refrigerator for at least an hour.
6

Sandwich the dough between two sheets of plastic wrap, and roll it out with a rolling pin evenly until it's larger than the tart pan.

Press the dough into the pan very very well so there's no air trapped underneath. Press in the sides too.
8

Roll the rolling pin over the pan to remove extra dough.

Chill and rest the crust in the pan again in the refrigerator (this is to prevent the crust from shrinking when it's baked).

11

Add the egg, and mix again.

Add the sifted almond flour, and mix.
13

14

Poke the bottom of the chilled crust several times with a fork.

22

Add the heavy cream little by little, and beat.

The sublime cheese cream is done.
24

Pipe it out on top of the cooled tart.
25

When you're done piping the cream, optionally dust with some powdered sugar (not listed in the ingredients).

You can make cookies with the leftover pastry dough and use them to decorate the tart.
