The Frangipane Tart has a rich history dating back to the 16th century when it was created by the Italian noblewoman, Catherine de' Medici. This delectable dessert made its way to France, where it gained popularity in the royal courts. The tart consists of a buttery pastry crust filled with a luscious almond cream known as frangipane. The addition of lemon zest adds a delightful citrusy aroma and flavor to the traditional recipe. Renowned chefs like Julia Child have popularized this dessert, and today, it can be savored in upscale patisseries and fine dining restaurants worldwide. For the best version, seek out a patisserie known for its expertise in French pastries. The key to a perfect Frangipane Tart lies in achieving the ideal balance of buttery crust, creamy almond filling, and zesty lemon flavor.
