Did you know?
The Bakewell Tart originated in the town of Bakewell, England, in the 19th century.
It is distinct from the Bakewell Pudding, which uses a custard-like filling instead of almond frangipane.
The tart is a popular British teatime dessert and has many regional recipe variations.
Almonds in the frangipane add a rich, nutty flavor and texture.
Drawbacks ⚠️
Contains added sugars, which may contribute to blood sugar spikes.
Moderate to high in saturated fat from butter and almonds.
