Ingredients

  • 8  Pre-made Frozen Tart Shells
  • 8 teaspoons Cherry Preserves, Or Other Fruit Jam
  • ½ cups Unsalted Butter, At Room Temperature
  • ½ cups Sugar
  • 1 cup Almond Flour
  • 2  Eggs
  • 1 Tablespoon Unbleached All-purpose Flour
  • 1 teaspoon Almond Extract
  • ¼ teaspoons Vanilla Extract
  • 1 pinch Kosher Salt
  • Sliced Almonds, For Topping

Preparation

Pre-bake tart shells according to package instructions. Cool completely. Once cool, spoon 1 teaspoon preserves into the bottom of each shell. Set aside.

Heat oven to 350ºF.

Cream butter and sugar together for a few minutes until light and fluffy. Add almond flour and mix for a few more minutes, scraping sides and bottom of the bowl as needed. Beat in eggs, one at a time, beating until fully incorporated. Mix in flour, extracts, and salt.

Spoon frangipane into tart shells, filling about 3/4 full. (Note: You will have extra frangipane.) Scatter sliced almonds on top. Bake for 20–25 minutes or until golden and filling is set. Cool on a wire rack.

Frangipane may be made ahead and stored, covered, in the refrigerator for 2 days.
