Frangipane also frangipan is a blend of almonds (usually blanched), sugar, butter and egg, all of which are sometimes further enhanced with almond extract, flour or other ingredients. It resembles thick almond custard.Some recipes begin with finely ground, other times, the recipe uses smooth almond paste for a smooth result. In the recipe below, we’ve created a fusion recipe that marries the luxurious and decadent Indian sweet (Gulab Jamun) in a frangipan tart.

Factoid
Frangipane is named after 16th century Italian nobleman Marquis Muzio Frangipani, who invented a bitter almond-scented fragrance that was used to perfume gloves while he was living in Paris. French pastry chefs were inspired and invented the recipe, which became a classic. Some sources claim that the actual perfume he invented was added to the culinary mixture, further enhancing the aromas and flavours.
