If you haven’t figured out by now I kinda love berries!!
In a close second come nuts of any form and especially in baked goods, oh AND in granola!
When I combine the two together magic usually happens so enjoy this luscious Berry Frangipane Tart as a dessert or a perfect treat alongside a tea or coffee. If you have any elderflower cordial at home then definetly add it in, if you don’t fear not the tart will still be divine!
Instead of using berries in this frangipane tart try adding in any rehydrated dried fruit or fresh fruit like apples, pears, apricots, plums, peaches or nectarines simply halved and added on top.
Serve this Berry Frangipane Tart by itself or with a dollop of plain yoghurt or creme fraiche on the side.
