Pistachio Fig Frangipane Tart

Pistachio Fig Frangipane Tart

Pistachio Fig Frangipane Tart is such a delicious cake, that’s makes you ask for more.

I am always interested in trying out something new. Likewise, when I was going through Yotam Ottolenghi’s – “Sweet” book, I found this interesting frangipane!

Yottam used Pistachio and Almond to make this Frangipane so rich and decadent with All-purpose Flour. I prefer to avoid maida, and alternatively I used Whole Wheat Flour for both Tart and the Frangipane.

So here I ended up with this lovely Pistachio Fig Frangipane Tart. There is yet another new thing in this tart. Guess What? I have used Ossoro – Fig and Honey Extract, that makes this tart more special!

Ossoro has come up with so many new and different Extracts like Fig and Honey, Milk Rusk, Juicy Pear, Black Forest and much more. So don’t forget to check their page for more interesting products.

Frangipane is a sweet filling that’s made from almonds. This is one of the Traditional foods of France. Frangipane usually has 4 main ingredients –  Eggs, Butter, Sugar and Almonds.

Start making the Tart shells a day before you want to serve this cake. So that you can finish it on time for a get together.

As always Tart dough should rest for at least 1 hour and then prepare the shells in the pan to be baked and rest in fridge for 30 minutes to avoid shrinking. (note it down, that’s a star tip)

Here are some of my other Whole Wheat Bakes:
