Gluten-free Blackberry Frangipane Tarts

Gluten free blackberry frangipane tart

The lovely peeps at Tala have been very generous to me and recently sent me some Non-stick loose bottomed tartlet tins and baking beans. Finally I would be able to use the pretty floral tart wrappers I bought in Oslo at the beginning of the year! I wanted to make tarts that would suit the wrappers so I decided on some blackberry frangipane filled tarts dusted in icing sugar...

Gluten-free Blackberry Frangipane Tarts (makes 4 tarts)

Ingredients
  • 200g gluten-free shortcrust pastry
  • Gluten free plain flour for dusting
  • Olive oil for greasing
  • 85g (3oz) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 75g (2 1/2 oz) caster sugar
  • 100g (3 1/2 oz) ground almonds
  • Grated zest of one lemon
  • 1 tbsp Ameretto
  • 200g fresh blackberries
  • Sieved icing sugar to decorate


Cooking instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 180C (160c fan) / 355F
  2. Lighly grease the pie tins
  3. Roll out pastry on a lightly floured surface to about 8mm thick
  4. Lightly press the pastry into the tins, (I use the end of a teaspoon to get a neat fluted edge) and trim.
  5. Lightly prick the base of the tarts
  6. Line pastry with greaseproof paper and fill with baking beans
  7. Cook in the oven for 10 minutes
  8. Remove paper and beans.
  9. Lightly brush the tarts with some of the beaten egg.
  10. Return to the oven for a further five minutes
  11. Cream the butter and sugar using a food mixer fitted with a paddle
  12. Gradually mix in the ground almonds, beaten eggs, lemon zest and Amaretto till well blended
  13. Spoon frangipane mix into baked tarts
  14. Push blackberries neatly into frangipane
  15. Bake for about 30-35 mins until lightly golden and they spring back lightly when touched
  16. Leave in tins on a wire rack to completely cool
  17. Lightly dust with icing sugar
