For an extra nutty flavor, toast slivered almonds and sprinkle them over the icing before it sets. Make sure the tart shells are completely cool before adding the jam and frangipane to prevent the crust from becoming soggy. If you don't have raspberry jam, any other fruit preserve like strawberry or apricot will work well. These tarts are best enjoyed the same day they are made, but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
