Homemade Frangipane Recipe

This Homemade Frangipane Recipe consists of melted butter, granulated sugar, almond meal (or almond flour), all-purpose flour, eggs, and almond extract mixed thoroughly to form a creamy almond filling. It is chilled for a minimum of two hours before use, allowing the flavors to meld and the mixture to firm up, which improves its performance in baking applications like galettes or tarts.

The frangipane provides a moist, flavorful almond layer that bakes to a tender texture with a subtle nutty aroma. The addition of almond extract enhances its characteristic flavor.

Chilling the mixture also aids in controlling consistency and helps prevent spreading during baking. This frangipane can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to seven days or frozen for extended storage up to eight weeks, making it convenient for make-ahead preparations.
