    Raspberry Frangipane Tart on a wooden surface

    I am so in love with frangipane currently. Initially I wanted to fill this tart with crème patisserie but I didn’t have enough heavy cream at home, plus I tend to fill everything with crème patisserie since I love it so much and I wanted some variation here. I have to say, I am so glad I ran out of heavy cream because this filling is simply amazing! It looked super thick and I was afraid that it would be dry but not at all! The thick creamy filling called frangipane has a slight marzipan taste and is very rich and delicious. If you haven’t tried frangipane yet, I highly suggest you do!

    What is frangipane

    It is a mixture of almond flour, eggs, butter and sugar, a custard like filling so to say, not to be mistaken with frangipani which sounds very similar but is a typ of flower. As the name already suggests it is Italian. (Of course something so delicious has to derive from either France or Italy). You make frangipane by creaming all those delicious ingredients together till you have a wonderful thick mixture which gets poured onto a pre baked crust and then gets baked until it reaches a beautiful golden brown. As I mentioned before, it has a slight marzipan taste and is very creamy. I love it and I think you might too 🙂

    Placing fresh raspberries on a layer of lemon curd

    Another thing I would like to point out here is the tart pan itself. When it comes to bakeware it is very worth investing in high quality pans. I recently bought myself this tart pan by Master Class that was on my Amazon wish list for a while now. The pan is sturdier than pans from other brands and has a non stick covering. This way you achieve an evenly browned tart and nothing sticks! What I also love is that you can lift the bottom out so you can serve it without the rim and that makes a beautiful presentation.

    Dusting Raspberry Frangipane Tart with powdered sugar

    You’re probably rolling your eyes at my frequent use of lemon curd, but I thought it would fit perfectly with the tart raspberries, but you can really use any type of fruit curd here. We are just going for a thin layer on top of the frangipane, you don’t need much.

    Once you baked the crust with the frangipane and slathered some fruit curd on top, all that’s left is for you to top off your tart with fresh raspberries, sprinkle with powdered sugar, and there you go!  Easy as tart.. (I’m hoping that will catch on)

      I adore the lemon curd in here. Lemon and raspberries are such a wonderful combo especially in a pretty tart! This would be perfect for Mother’s Day!

      I don’t think I’ve ever had frangipane before, but I’ve definitely made and eaten my share of lemon curd 🙂 This tart looks absolutely scrumptious! So pretty and fresh for Spring. Would love to try this one soon!

        Haha yes I have eaten my share of that too, but hey that’s how we get our intake of Vitamin C right? 😉

      You’re right, I did wonder what frangipane is lol. It sounds wonderful and you have another wonderful creation! I like anything with lemon curd and the flavour combinations here are just very exciting!

      Can this be made into individual tarts?

      • Natanja on 6. February 2020 at 17:32

        Hi Mollie! Yes you can do that! 🙂 You’ll have to adapt the baking time though, as they will bake a lot faster. Hope that helps. 🙂
