Frequently Asked Questions About Mini Frangipane
What is mini frangipane?
Mini frangipane is a small tart filled with baked almond cream. It typically has a sweet pastry shell and a soft filling made with ground almonds, butter, sugar and eggs.
Is mini frangipane the same as marzipan?
No, mini frangipane is not the same as marzipan. Frangipane is a soft almond cream baked inside a tart, while marzipan is a firmer almond-and-sugar paste used for shaping or covering sweets.
How do you make mini frangipane?
Mini frangipane is made by lining small tart tins with pastry, adding almond cream and baking until the filling is set and lightly golden. The pastry may be baked briefly before filling to help keep its base crisp.
Can you freeze mini frangipane?
Yes, mini frangipane can be frozen once completely cool. Wrap each tartlet well and store it in a sealed freezer container; thaw it in the refrigerator, then warm it briefly in the oven to refresh the pastry.
How should mini frangipane be stored?
Store mini frangipane in an airtight container in the refrigerator if you are keeping it beyond the day it is baked. Bring it towards room temperature before serving, or warm it gently to improve the pastry texture.
What is the difference between mini frangipane and a Bakewell tart?
Mini frangipane is defined by its almond-cream filling, while a traditional Bakewell tart usually has a layer of jam beneath the frangipane and may have icing on top. Individual recipes vary, but the jam layer is the familiar distinction.
Can mini frangipane be made with fruit?
Yes, mini frangipane is often topped or filled with fruit such as pear, apple or apricot. Add fruit sparingly and drain particularly juicy pieces first, since excess moisture can soften the pastry as it bakes.
How do you keep mini frangipane pastry crisp?
To keep mini frangipane pastry crisp, cool the tartlets fully before storing them in an airtight container. If the bases soften, a brief reheat in the oven can help; microwaving tends to make pastry softer.
What should you serve with mini frangipane?
Mini frangipane pairs well with coffee or tea, whose slight bitterness balances its sweet almond filling. Fresh berries or a spoonful of lightly sweetened cream also make an easy accompaniment without competing with the tart.
Can you make mini frangipane without almonds?
Not as traditional frangipane, because ground almonds give the filling its characteristic flavor and texture. You can use another nut-based filling, but it will taste different; a nut-free custard tart is a different dessert rather than frangipane.

What is Mini Frangipane?
Mini Frangipane is a small French-style tart with a sweet pastry shell and a soft filling of frangipane, an almond cream usually made with ground almonds, butter, sugar and eggs. It may be served plain or topped with fruit, depending on the bakery or recipe.
The shell is crisp and buttery, while the centre is tender, moist and distinctly almond-flavoured. In France it is enjoyed as a patisserie treat, often with coffee; elsewhere, it works just as naturally alongside tea or as a small dessert after a meal. Its pastry and almond filling make it energy-dense, with relatively little protein. Pair it with unsweetened tea or coffee, or share one if you’d prefer a smaller sweet.
