Best 8 Frangipane For Cranberry Almond Tarts Recipes

CRANBERRY FRANGIPANE TART

Steps:

• Mixing the dough:1) Combine the flour, sugar and salt in a large bowl. Add the butter and, using a pastry cutter (or your fingertips), cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse sand. Alternatively, you can use a food processor. 2) Add the egg and mix with your hands (or pulse in the food processor) just until the dough holds together when squeezed. If the dough doesn't come together with the egg, you can add ice water, a teaspoon at a time, until it does. Rolling out the dough:3) Transfer the dough to the counter and shape it into a disk. Place it in between 2 sheets of parchment paper and roll it until it is large enough to cover the base and sides of your tart pan (or large enough to cut enough circles for tartlet molds) and about 1/4 inch thick. Slide the rolled dough with the parchment paper onto an upside-down baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to 24 hours. Transferring the dough to the pan(s):4) Remove the dough from the fridge and let it rest on the counter for 10 minutes to soften slightly. If making a large tart, gently flip the chilled dough over a 10 or 11-inch tart pan, pressing it into the pan to shape it and then cutting off the excess. If making tartlets, use the tartlet molds (or a round cookie cutter) to cut the dough and use your fingers to press it in the mold. In both cases, you can patch any thin parts or cracks with excess dough. 5) Freeze the crust for 15 minutes or no longer than 30 minutes. Blind Baking the pastry crust:6) Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 C). 7) Remove the tart pan from (or tartlet molds) from the freezer and, using a fork, liberally prick the chilled dough all over to allow steam to escape. 8) Place the tart or tartlets in a baking sheet, line the shell(s) with parchment paper and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake in the preheated oven until the edges just begin to brown, rotating halfway through. Time will vary depending on the size of the tart or tartlets and the material the pans are made of. Generally, it can take anywhere from 10 to 20 minutes. 9) Remove the parchment paper and weights, then continue baking for a few more minutes until the center of the pastry crust is set but not yet golden. 10) Cool to room temperature before assembling. Make the cranberry jam:11) Combine the cranberries, sugar and water in a medium saucepan. Cook, over medium high heat, until boiling. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook until the cranberries burst, about 10 minutes, pressing them with a wooden spoon so the jam is smooth. Remove from heat and reserve to cool. Make the almond cream:12) Combine the butter and sugar in a large bowl. Using a hand mixer, beat, over medium speed, until pale and fluffy. Add the almond flour and salt and beat to incorporate. 13) Add the eggs and extracts and mix well. Then, add the all-purpose flour and beat just until combined. Use immediately or refrigerate until ready to use. Assembling and baking the cranberry frangipane tart:14) Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180C). 15) Spread the cranberry jam in an even layer on the bottom of the tart shell(s). Add dollops of the frangipane and, using an offset spatula, gently spread it on top of the jam, being careful not to mix the almond cream with the jam. 16) Arrange fresh cranberries in concentric rows over the frangipane, about 1/4-inch apart. You can also use crushed almonds to decorate the borders, if desired. 17) Place tart(s) on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 40-50 minutes or until the frangipane is set and golden brown. You can also test with a toothpick. 18) Let it cool to room temperature before serving.

EASY CRANBERRY FRANGIPANE TART

Steps:

• For the crust: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Spray a 9-inch tart pan with removable bottom with baking spray and place on a sheet pan.
• Combine the cookie crumbs, flour, sugar and salt in a food processor or medium bowl and pulse or mix until combined. Add the butter and blend until moistened. The mixture should clump together in your hand; if it seems dry, mix in 1 teaspoon water until combined.
• Evenly press the crumbs into the bottom and up the sides of the tart pan. Bake until the center of the crust looks dry, about 12 minutes. Set aside on a wire rack to cool while you prepare the filling. Lower the oven temperature to 350 degrees F.
• For the filling: Beat the butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar and salt in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment until smooth. Add the vanilla and almond extracts and beat a few seconds more. Add the eggs and yolk one at a time, beating well after each addition (don't worry if the mixture looks thin). Add the almond flour and all-purpose flour and mix on low until completely combined.
• Pour the frangipane into the warm crust and smooth it out towards the edges -- it's fine if it melts a little. Place the cranberry halves on top, pushing them in just slightly.
• Bake the tart at 350 degrees F until golden and set (not jiggly) and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 43 to 45 minutes. Let the tart cool completely on the rack before removing the outer ring and placing the tart on a platter. Dust the edges of the tart lightly with confectioners' sugar, then sprinkle the toasted almond slices around the edges of the tart.

ALMOND FRANGIPANE TART WITH CRANBERRIES AND HONEYED PISTACHIOS

Steps:

• Add the butter and sugar to the clean bowl of a stand mixer and beat until light and fluffy. Scrape down the bowl, then beat in the egg yolk. Combine the flour and salt, then add to the bowl, beating on low speed until just incorporated.
• Place dough in a 9-inch round fluted tart pan. Using fingertips, press the dough evenly across the bottom and up the sides of the pan to cover in a very thin (1⁄8-inch) layer; trim and reserve any remaining dough. Dock the dough every 2 inches with a fork. Place the tart pan on a baking sheet; freeze for 10 minutes or until firm.
• Meanwhile, set a rack in the top third of the oven and preheat to 350°. Mix the thawed cranberries with the sugar; toss well.
• Retrieve the baking sheet and the frangipane. Add the frangipane to the center of the tart crust, and using an offset spatula, spread to evenly fill all the way to the edges. Individually place the cranberries on the frangipane in a pattern you like, leaving room between the berries. Discard excess sugar or juices from the bowl.
• Bake until the top is lightly browned, about 40 minutes. (If frangipane looks puffy in patches, don't worry, it will settle.) Remove the tart and let cool 5 minutes, then carefully transfer the tart pan to a rack to cool completely.
• In a small bowl, mix the pistachios with the honey using fingers. Top the tart with small clusters of the honeyed nuts. Just before slicing, unmold the tart and dust with confectioners' sugar if desired.

FRANGIPANE TART WITH STRAWBERRIES AND RASPBERRIES

Steps:

• Roll out the dough 1/8- inch thick on a lightly floured surface, fit it into an 11-by 8-inch rectangular or 10-or 11-inch round tart pan with a removable fluted rim, and chill the shell while making the frangipane. In a small bowl cream together the butter and the sugar and beat in the egg, the almonds, the almond extract, the Amaretto, and the flour. Spread the frangipane evenly on the bottom of the shell and bake the tart in the middle of a preheated 375°F. oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the shell is pale golden. (If the frangipane begins to turn too brown, cover the tart loosely with a piece of foil.) Let the tart cool. Cut the strawberries lengthwise into 1/8-inch-thick slices, arrange the slices, overlapping, decoratively with the raspberries in rows on the frangipane, and brush them gently with the jam.
• In a large bowl blend the flour, the butter, the vegetable shortening, and salt until the mixture resembles meal. Add 2 tablespoons ice water, toss the mixture until the water is incorporated, adding more ice water if necessary to form a dough, and form the dough into a ball. Dust the dough with flour and chill it, wrapped in wax paper, for 1 hour.

• In another saucepan, combine the flour, sugar, and beaten egg yolks.
• Gradually add the hot milk till combined.
• Cook slowly over low heat, stirring constantly, till cream thickens.
• (at this point, I put it through a strainer to get rid of any cooked-egg lumps).
• Pour the cream into a bowl and stir in the crushed macaroons. Set aside to cool to room temperature.
• Crust:.
• Preheat oven to 350. Using a mixer, cream together the butter and sugar; add the egg yolks, almond extract and lemon zest. Beat till smooth.

• Using a 9 or 10 inch tart or springform pan with removable bottome, press 2/3 of the dough in the bottom of the pan with your fingers and work the dough up the rim about 1/2 inch. Set the remaining dough aside (refrigerating is a good idea - it may help rolling out later).
• Filling:.
• in a medium bowl, mix together the sugar, flour and cornstarch. Stir in the blueberries, sprinkle with lemon (and cinnamon if desired)and toss to coat blueberries evenly.
• Assembly:.
• spread an even layer of the frangipane in the bottom of the crust, using just enough to cover.
• Pour in the blueberry mixture and dot the top with 2 T of butter.
• On a floured surface, roll out the remaining dough to 1/16 inch thick (I found this dough quite moist and fragile, so sprinkle with flour).
• Cut strips of dough 1/2 inch wide and arrange them diagonally, 1/2 inch apart, to form a lattice top. Trim away overhanging dough.
• Bake for 40 minutes or till lightly browned.
• Dust with powdered sugar and serve warm.

CRANBERRY-ALMOND TARTS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Place one disk of dough on a floured work surface, sprinkle dough with flour, and roll out to 1/4 inch thick. Cut out 25 to 30 circles using a 2 1/4-inch round cutter, re-rolling dough once if necessary. Place each circle in a 1 3/4-inch nonstick petit four brioche mold, gently pressing down on the bottom and sides. Place filled molds on a baking sheet; transfer to a freezer for 20 minutes.
• Transfer baking sheet to oven and bake tart shells until golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Transfer tart shells, in their molds, to a wire rack to cool completely.
• Place frangipane in pastry bag fitted with a small, plain round tip. Fill each tart shell with 1/4 teaspoon frangipane. Place tart shells, in their molds, on a baking sheet and transfer to oven. Bake until frangipane springs back when touched with your fingertip, 15 to 17 minutes. Transfer tart shells to a cooling rack; let cool completely.
• In a large bowl, mix together cranberries, almonds, and enough caramel to hold cranberries and almonds together, about 1 cup. Remove almond tarts from their molds and place on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Spoon cranberry mixture on top of frangipane; transfer to oven and bake until cranberries just begin to pop, 6 to 8 minutes. Drizzle with caramel and serve.
