3.            Cool for 5 minutes, then spread a thin layer of Sugar-Free Strawberry Jam on the crust.
4.            Make the frangipane – Mix together the butter and granular sweetener. Add the ground almonds, egg and almond extract and mix well. Pour and evenly spread over the top of the jam layer.
5.            Bake for 20-25 minutes until the frangipane is puffed up and golden brown. 
6.            Make the icing – In a small bowl, mix together confectioner's sweetener, almond milk and almond extract. Set aside.
7.            Once the tart has cooled completely, pour the icing on top. Allow it to set for 10-15 minutes
