A delicious fruit tart with almond cream (frangipane) and flaky dough crust (pate sucree). Baked almond cream is a classic filling for french sweet tarts and very delicious, the crust is super flaky and buttery while the filling is what I call perfection, sweet
Frangipane is one of the most classic fillings for sweet tarts and one of my favorites. It consists in the combination of almond cream with pastry cream and don’t confuse almond cream for almond paste. Almond paste is an industrialized paste made from the mixture of bitter almonds and regular almonds, the bitter almonds provide a distinct flavor for the almond paste and if you’ve never had it you have to try to understand. Some almond cream recipes calls for almond paste, some others don’t, I find much more attractive and interesting the ones that calls for it and mine does call for it.
