Tarts filled with frangipane - almond cream with gooseberry fruit. Delicious and crispy summer cake with seasonal fruit, perfect for coffee

Tartlets with almond cream go very well with seasonal fruit. We can prepare the dessert with gooseberries, as well as raspberries, currants, apricots or cherries.

Frangipane, a fluffy filling made of almonds, butter, eggs, sugar and flour. A sweet and nutty paste that is very easy to prepare. Frangipane is an essential ingredient in many desserts, incl. tart or bostocków. I recommend a recipe for Bostocki from challah with almond cream

Orange flower water, almond flour or blanched almond flour can be bought in larger stores or online, e.g. at Cuisines of the world

Use these ingredients to prepare 6 small tarts in molds about 10 cm in diameter

PERFORMANCE

1. We prepare a cake. Put the flour and butter in pieces into a food processor and mix until the consistency of breadcrumbs. Add powdered sugar, egg yolks and orange flower water, mix for a while and quickly knead the dough by hand. Form a ball, wrap in cling film and refrigerate for about 30 minutes.
2. Prepare frangipane, i.e. almond cream for the filling. Mix the butter with sugar until it is fluffy. Add ground almonds, egg, flour and mix until the consistency of a cream.
3. Take the cake out of the fridge and divide it into 6 portions. Roll out a cake with a diameter matching the molds (plus a small supply).
4. Wash the gooseberries, dry and cut the tails and stalks.
5. Line the tartlet molds with the dough.
6. Spread the almond cream and put the gooseberries on top, slightly pressing it into the cream.
7. You can cut off the excess dough, put it on the fruit or make a frill with your fingers.
8. Cool the molds with the dough by about 30 minutes.
9. During this time, preheat the oven to 200 ° C.
10. Bake the tarts for 25 - 30 minutes, until the dough is golden.
11. Cool until rack in molds.

We serve the cooled tarts sprinkled with powdered sugar. They also taste great when served with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
