Gooseberry Frangipane Tart

Recipe Description

This Gooseberry Frangipane Tart is a perfect sweet treat in my opinion. It has a sweetened shortcrust pastry base, topped with nutty frangipane with gooseberries squished into it to ensure every bite is juicy and delicious.

This tart has 3 different stages, but it is not hard to make. Start by making a sweetened shortcrust pastry base. Top with a frangipane mixture made from coconut oil, caster sugar, ground almonds, eggs, flour, almond extract and rose water. Squish gooseberries into the frangipane and bake. When the tart is still warm, glaze it. Enjoy!

To make Gooseberry Frangipane Tart, you will need the following ingredients:
