Craving a classic French dessert without the dairy? This vegan plum frangipane tart delivers all the indulgence with none of the animal products. Sweet and juicy, this dessert is a real treat. The scrumptious frangipane almond filling is just perfect with plums.
Vegan Plum Frangipane Tart – A Classic French Dessert Made Dairy-Free
There is something truly irresistible about the combination of juicy, sweet plums and rich, nutty frangipane. This classic almond filling, pairs beautifully with the natural tartness of plums, creating a dessert that’s both comforting and elegant. Perfect for using seasonal plums, this tart is a must-try for anyone that enjoys fruity desserts.
As the frangipane bakes, it turns beautifully golden and slightly crisp on the outside while remaining soft and moist inside, soaking up the juices from the fruit for a burst of flavour in every bite.
Make sure the plums are ripe as it will enhance the flavour of this tart. You can replace the puff pastry with a shortcrust pastry if you like.
For this vegan version I am using:
- Chia eggs: instead of eggs
- Dairy-free butter: instead of conventional butter
- Just Roll Puff Pastry: which happens to be vegan
What is frangipane?
Traditionally found in French baking, frangipane is a rich, almond-flavoured filling made from ground almonds, butter, sugar, and eggs. It pairs beautifully with fruits like plums, apricots, pears, and cherries and is commonly used to make:
- Bakewell Tart: A British pastry with a shortcrust base, a layer of jam, and frangipane, topped with flaked almonds.
- Galette des Rois: A French “King’s Cake” traditionally eaten for Epiphany, where frangipane is enclosed in puff pastry.
- Tarte Bourdaloue: A French pear and almond tart, which is one of my favourite desserts.
