My Frangipane Recipe is easy to make and can be used in so many different ways! Perfect as a pie or tart filling, or even in pastries, it adds a creamy and nutty flavor to whatever you pair it with.
Add softened butter and sugar to the bowl of a food processor fitted with the metal blade and blend until combined and fluffy.
Whisk together almond meal, flour, and salt in a separate mixing bowl. Add the dry ingredient mixture to the butter mixture and blend together until crumbs form.
Lightly beat together the eggs and almond extract in another bowl and add to the food processor. Blend until creamy.
Transfer the frangipane to a bowl and refrigerate for at least an hour before using.
Notes
You can use a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment instead of a food processor. An electric hand mixer will also work.
If your butter is really soft to the point of almost melted, your frangipane will turn out runnier. This is okay, it will thicken up in the refrigerator.
