Frangipane and pear tart

When pears meet almonds, here is the magic!

My passions are food and traveling, or to be more precisely, I love to try food while traveling: meeting a culture different from yours, tasting their food and the exciting new combination of ingredients.
That’s why I have made this tart, with some personal adjustments. I thought that pears and almonds could be a good match, enriched with orange zest and anisette. Here is my Frangipane and pear tart.

What you need:

For the pastry

250gr of flour
100 of sugar
2 eggs
70gr of sunflower oil
2 teaspoons of baking powder
1 teaspoon of vanilla

For the filling

80gr of sugar
150ml of any nut milk
1 egg
1 tablespoon of potato starch
150gr of blanched almonds
The zest of one unwaxed orange
1 teaspoon of anisette

Method

Pour the flour onto a pastry board, make a hole right in a middle like the shape of a Vulcano and add the sugar and yeast over the sides. Now, add the eggs and the vanilla, and, slowly pour the oil while start incorporating the eggs into the mixture The trick is to continue to mix with one hand, while using the other hand to push some of the flour towards the center so that it is gradually absorbed. Knead your dough once firm and then set aside.
To make your lactose free frangipane cream, place the almonds in the food processor with a tablespoon of sugar and grind until you have a floury mixture. Pour the milk into a small saucepan and heat without bringing it to the boil. In another bowl, mix the eggs and the rest of the sugar until creamy. Now, add the potato starch and the grounded almonds to the egg mixture and mix well. Add the orange zest, anisette and lukewarm milk and stir.
Transfer the resulting mixture to the saucepan and place on the heat. Cook at low heat, stirring regularly, until the cream becomes nicely compacted. You are ready to assemble your delicious tart. I have added the three pears but you can add any fruit you like. Bake for 40mins at 180C.

ET VOILA'! ENJOY ❤️
