Summer Fruit Frangipane Tart

*
Now that the temperatures are rising and the sun is coming out-albeit slowly- it is time we re-introduced summer fruits into our diet!
*
My Summer Fruit Frangipane Tart is essentially a puff pastry case, filled with frangipane (more about that in a minute!), and blueberries and raspberries!
*
Frangipane is essentially a filling made from eggs, sugar, butter, and almonds.
Beat the butter and sugar until soft and fluffy, gradually add the butter and lastly pour in the almonds.
*
Line some individual cases with puff pastry and fill with roughly 75g of frangipane. Top with your choice of fruit and sprinkle with almonds.
*
Bake in the oven for about 45 minutes on a low-medium heat
*
Eat with cream, icecream, or on their own- enjoy!
