Preparation

How to prepare Frangipane cream

To prepare the frangipane cream, start by creaming the room-temperature butter with the sugar using electric beaters. When the mixture is well creamed, add the two eggs one at a time 1, continuing to beat with the electric beaters 2. Finally, add the almond flour, mixing well with a wooden spoon to blend it into the butter, sugar, and egg mixture 3.

At this point, bring the mixture to the stove 4 and cook the cream until it thickens 5 (the consistency should be very similar to custard, although slightly lumpier); when the cream starts to boil, you can turn off the heat.
If you use the frangipane cream to fill a pie or tartlets, you can place it raw on the shortcrust pastry (also raw) and bake it directly in the oven 6!

Advice

Frangipane cream is decidedly rich, so we recommend using it for cakes that include a lot of fruit, such as apples, pears, raspberries, blueberries, etc.
