Fresh Cherry Frangipane Tart

Ingredients

• 2 cup Fresh cherries (pitted and halved; divided for jam and filling)
• 1 tbsp Lemon juice (for the jam)
• 0.25 cup Granulated sugar (for the jam)
• 1 9-inch tart shell (fully pre-baked)
• 1.5 cup Vegan almond cream (also known as frangipane)
• 0.25 cup Flaked almonds (for topping)
• Powdered sugar (for dusting)

Steps

1. 1

   Prepare the cherries by cutting them in half and removing the pits. If you do not have a cherry pitter, twist the halves and pry out the pit manually.

2. 2

   To make the cherry jam, place a portion of the cherries and the lemon juice in a saucepan. Mash the cherries until they are juicy.

3. 3

   Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook for 5 to 10 minutes until the cherries have started to break down.

4. 4

   Add the sugar to the saucepan. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil and continue to cook for about 10 to 15 minutes until thickened. Set aside to cool completely.

5. 5

   Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

6. 6

   Spread the cooled cherry jam into the bottom of the fully pre-baked 9-inch tart shell.

7. 7

   Sprinkle a layer of fresh halved cherries over the top of the jam.

8. 8

   Spread the vegan almond cream (frangipane) evenly over the cherries, smoothing the top.

9. 9

   Top the almond cream with a handful of flaked almonds.

10. 10

    Bake the tart at 350°F (175°C) until the almond cream is set and the top is nice and golden brown.

11. 11

    Allow the tart to cool completely before finishing with a light dusting of powdered sugar around the edges.

Notes

The creator recommends wearing gloves while pitting cherries to avoid staining your hands. The tart shell and vegan almond cream recipes are referenced as separate components found in the creator's other videos/Substack.
