Mini Frangipan Delights

Surflou's Note:

This is a recipe I got from the Jamie Oliver 30 minute meal collection, I tried them tonight for dessert and they went down famously! Try them with creme freche, double cream or custard, they're even good on their own with nothing at all! Real melt in the mouth stuff, try them and see!

Quick easy and great tasting treats. These are a no brainer. I served mine with clotted cream.
