This Cranberry Pear Tart with Almond Cream combines the tartness of cranberries with the sweetness of pears, all nestled in a flaky puff pastry crust and topped with a luscious almond cream.
Ingredients: 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed. 2 ripe pears, thinly sliced. 1 cup fresh cranberries. 1/4 cup granulated sugar. 1/4 cup almond meal. 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened. 1/4 cup powdered sugar. 1 egg, beaten for egg wash. 1/4 teaspoon almond extract. 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract.
Instructions: Before you start cooking, heat the oven to 375F 190C. Spread some flour on a surface and roll out the puff pastry into a rectangle shape. Place the dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. As a way to make almond cream, mix together almond meal, sugar, softened butter, almond extract, and vanilla extract in a small bowl. Cover the puff pastry with the almond cream and leave a border around the edges. Put the cranberries and slices of pear on top of the almond cream. Carefully press the edges of the pastry together to seal it around the filling. Beat an egg and brush it around the edges of the pastry to make them golden. Put it in the oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the fruit is soft and the pastry is golden brown. Let the tart cool down a bit before you serve it. If you want, you can dust it with powdered sugar.
