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:
Put the flour in a large baking bowl. Make a well in the center and add the butter cubes, egg, sugar and salt. Rub the ingredients with your fingertips until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Add the milk, and knead the dough together to form a ball.
Cover the dough with food wrap. Place it in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
After about 45 minutes, preheat the oven to 355 °F.
Once chilled, remove it from the refrigerator and roll it out thin. Line a tart pan with the dough. Place parchment paper on the pastry and fill with beans. Bake for ten minutes in the preheated oven.
After ten minutes, take the baking paper and beans from the pastry base and bake for another ten minutes. Remove the pastry from the oven and set aside.
Cream the sugar and coconut oil. Beat in the eggs one by one. Mix in the ground almonds, flour, almond extract and rose water. Stir well until fully combined.
Add the frangipane mixture on top of the pastry. Place the gooseberries onto the frangipane and push them down into the mixture.
Bake for 25-30 minutes until the pastry is golden and the frangipane sets and is light golden.
While the tart is baking, melt the jam and water together in a small pan or in the microwave.
Once cooked, remove the tart from the oven and brush with the jam mixture to glaze it.
This cake will keep for a few days. I like to serve it completely cold with a strong coffee.
This Gooseberry Frangipane Tart is perfection - a sweetened shortcrust pastry base with gooseberry frangipane. If you make it, come back and leave a review telling me what you think!
