Almond and khaki (persimmon) tart(s)

Crunchy tart with a soft almond-khaki-rum filling, topped with more fresh khakis. It's a yummy and exotic combination. 
I made this the weeks before the birth of my Mira, waiting for her to arrive. I remember how anxious I was and how I used to just stay at home and talk to my mother and Bogdan about it. Making this sweet tart was one of the things that relaxed me a bit.
It may look complicated, but almost anyone could make it. So don't fret, it's easier than it looks. :)

Last year: Eggplant-tomato-pepper cous cous with mozzarella. 
Two years ago: Basic pancakes (crepes) (Romanian).
Three years ago: Focaccia with garlic oil, rosemary and yellow tomatoes (Italian) (vegan), Avgolemono (Greek chicken, lemon and egg soup) and Rice and hazelnut spicy colorful salad (vegan).
