Crustless Fig Frangipane Tart

This easy fig tart recipe is crustless. Whip up the almond frangipane, top with fresh figs, and pop into the oven for about 45 minutes. It is pure buttery decadence without refined sugar, naturally gluten-free and deliciously gooey.
Frangipane is a classic French paste for cakes, tarts, and pastries. It's made with butter, sugar or sugar alternatives, eggs, and ground almonds or other nuts. Traditional frangipane paste contains no flour, as it usually used as a filling for a pastry crust. Adding just a small amount of flour made this tart stable and it is able to stand on its own even without the crust.
