💡 What's interesting

The frangipane filling is a hallmark of French baking, traditionally made with almond paste, which gives the tart its distinctive rich, moist texture and deep flavor. Nutritionally, the almonds offer a source of healthy monounsaturated fats and antioxidants, making this indulgence slightly more nutrient-dense than a purely fruit-based tart.
