Frangipane
A sweet almond-flavoured filling that is baked in a tart or tartlet, the filling may be solid or of a similar consistency to whipped cream. Frangipane originated in France but is now just as popular in Britain. The mixture may be topped with fresh fruit - often pears or apples before baking.
