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.
Ingredients
- 1/2 lemon
- 180 grams sugar
- 180 grams all purpose flour

I have always had a weakness for chocolate and pie of any kind. So this cocoa frangipane pie was really an eye-pleaser for me. It was easy to make and very simple and straightforward. I loved the light cocoa taste that didn't overbear the entire pie. Looking forward to making this 5 star winner again.
