Frangipane recipes
Frangipane is a creamy, sweet almond-flavoured custard that’s often used with tarts, cakes and other bakes. This French filling gives desserts an extra layer of nutty flavour and pairs perfectly with pastry.
You’ll find it in classic tarts such as a Bakewell, but we’ve also got other delicious versions like our peanut butter and jam tart. Discover twists like an apple and blackberry frangipane crumble, go decadent with a chocolate and orange take, or even try a savoury winner with this vegan tart with miso, frangipane and onions.
