- To prepare the crust, preheat the oven to 375 . Butter a 12-inch tart pan with a removable bottom. Put the flour, sugar, almond extract, and salt in the bowl of a food processor or possibly heavy-duty mixer. With the machine running, slowly add in 1 c. of the butter and process or possibly mix till a dough forms.
- Press the dough into the prepared pan. Bake in the oven till the crust is golden,20 to 25 min. Let cold completely, about 20 min.
- Meanwhile, heat the chocolate and remaining Tbsp. of butter in the top of a double boiler over gently simmering water. Brush the cooled crust with melted chocolate and place in the refrigerator to set.
- To prepare the pastry cream, put the half-and-half, almond extract, lemon zest, and half of the sugar in a medium saucepan and bring just to a boil.
- Meanwhile, put the Large eggs, the remaining sugar, and the cornstarch in a medium bowl and mix well. When the half-and-half is warm, whisk some of it into the Large eggs, and then add in the Large eggs to the saucepan. Stirring continuously with a wooden spoon, cook over low heat till very thick, about 5 min, never letting it come to a boil. Remove from the heat. Stir the lemon juice into the pastry cream and pour the mix into the crust. Set aside to cold completely.
- Starting at the perimeter of the tart, arrange the berries in concentric circles (rounded side facing up). Slice and serve, or possibly chill till ready to serve.
