Description
Frangipane — an almond cream filling — stars in this recipe, which also features almond flour for nutty results. Once its cocoa dough is prepared and refrigerated, it's rolled out and placed in a pie plate with fluted edges. A layer of orange jam then offers a surprise beneath the almond cream. After baking, a dash of powdered sugar caps off wow-worthy dessert. If you cannot find the bitter almond extract the recipe calls for, regular almond extract can be used.
