To make this vegan frangipane, we swap the butter for a plant-based fat and use applesauce, aquafaba, or vegan egg substitute instead of egg. This frangipane keeps well in the fridge and can also be frozen.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • ½ cup almond meal

  • 2 tablespoons almond meal

  • ¼ cup white sugar

  • ¼ cup unsweetened applesauce

  • 1 ½ tablespoons all-purpose flour

  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract, or to taste

  • ⅛ teaspoon almond extract, or to taste

Directions

  1. Combine 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons almond meal, sugar, applesauce, flour, vanilla extract, and almond extract in a bowl; stir until smooth. Let it firm up in the refrigerator for about 1 hour before using.

  2. For later use, place in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 1 week, or freeze for up to six months.

Cook's Notes:

You can use finely ground almonds in place of almond meal, and aquafaba or vegan egg substitute in place of applesauce.

Frangipane will firm up after cooling. If you want to use it to pipe it onto a cake with a pastry bag and it is too soft, chill it for about 1 hour, or until it has the right consistency.
