What is Almond Frangipane?
Almond frangipane is a mixture of butter, sugar, almond flour, eggs and all-purpose flour. It is a baked pastry cream filling that has a sweet, nutty taste so it pairs well with many fruit and chocolate tarts, pies and other desserts. Once baked it has the consistency of an airy sponge cake, just a bit heavier.

Tart Ingredients
- A 9" or 10" tart pan with a rolled pie crust. I prefer a sturdy yet tender crust for the blueberry almond frangipane tart. Check out my Sweet Dough recipe (aka Sucree Dough) for the tart as it produces a soft cookie-like crust. There is no need to pre-bake or par-bake the crust before assembling the tart. The dessert will spend sufficient time in the oven to fully bake the crust.
- Granulated sugar and all-purpose flour (gluten-free flour may be used)
- Unsalted butter and eggs: bring both of these ingredients to room temperature before making the filling. Cold ingredients can cause the frangipane filling to curdle while mixing.
- Almond flour: Use a finely ground almond flour. Blue Diamond and Bob's Red Mill both make a high-quality almond flour.
- Fresh blueberries: rinse and dry the blueberries prior to adding to the tart filling.
FAQs
Cover the tart in foil or plastic wrap and place in the fridge for up to 4 days. Bring to room temperature before serving. The tart may also be frozen for up to 3 months.
Yes. First, defrost the blueberries and strain any excess juice. Next, place the blueberries on a paper towel and allow to dry for 20 minutes.
