Pear and Frangipane Tart with Caramel Drizzle
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 sheet of frozen puff pastry, thawed
- 3 ripe pears, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup of unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup of granulated sugar
- 1 cup of almond flour
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup of heavy cream
- 1/2 cup of granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup of water
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface and transfer it to a 9-inch tart pan. Trim any excess pastry hanging over the edges.
- In a mixing bowl, cream together 1/2 cup of softened butter and 1/2 cup of granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the almond flour, eggs, and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, and mix until well combined to make the frangipane filling.
- Spread the frangipane evenly over the bottom of the prepared puff pastry.
- Arrange the sliced pears on top of the frangipane in a decorative pattern.
- Bake the tart in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the pastry is golden and the frangipane is set.
- While the tart is baking, prepare the caramel sauce by heating 1/2 cup of granulated sugar and 1/4 cup of water in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves, then increase the heat and cook without stirring until the mixture turns a deep amber color.
- Remove the caramel from the heat and carefully stir in the heavy cream until smooth. Allow the caramel sauce to cool slightly.
- Once the tart is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes before drizzling the caramel sauce over the top.
- Slice the pear and frangipane tart and serve warm, with extra caramel sauce on the side if desired. Enjoy!
