Spiced pear and chestnut cream tart: bistro dessert


Spiced pear and chestnut cream tart

Ingredients:

  • 1 sheet of frozen puff pastry
  • 2 ripe pears
  • 1/2 cup chestnut spread
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp cloves
  • 1 egg, beaten

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Thaw the puff pastry sheet according to the package instructions. Roll it out on a lightly floured surface to a diameter that will fit your tart pan. Place the pastry in the tart pan and trim off any excess dough.
  3. In a bowl, mix the chestnut spread, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves until well combined. Spread this mixture evenly over the bottom of the pastry crust.
  4. Cut the pears in half and remove the core. Cut the pears into thin slices, about 1/4 inch thick. Arrange the pear slices in a circular pattern over the chestnut cream.
  5. Brush the beaten egg over the edges of the pastry crust. This will give it a beautiful golden color when baked.
  6. Bake the tart for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the pears are tender.
  7. Let the tart cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Verdict:

This spiced pear and chestnut cream tart is the perfect dessert for any occasion. The combination of warm spices, sweet pears, and rich chestnut cream creates a harmonious flavor experience that is sure to satisfy your taste buds.

Serving suggestions:

This tart is best served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream on top. It also pairs well with a cup of hot tea or coffee. Enjoy!
