Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 9

100g golden caster sugar
100g butter, softened at room temperature
2 large eggs
60g pistachio paste (see tip)
25g plain flour
90g ground almonds
150g black cherry jam
1 large ready-made cooked pastry case
crème fraîche, to serve (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. First, make a frangipane. Beat the sugar and butter until light and fluffy, then beat in the eggs one at a time. Add the pistachio paste, flour and almonds and mix well.
  • Spread the black cherry jam over the base of the pastry case, top with the frangipane mixture and bake for 25-30 mins. Leave to cool completely, then serve with crème fraîche, if you like.
