Fresh Plum Almond Tart

Ingredients

  • 1 egg
  • 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 4 tablespoons Mandelin Blanched Almond Flour or Natural Almond Flour
  • 1 sheet puff pastry
  • 8 ripe but firm plums such as Italian Prune, French Prune or Damsons, pitted and quartered.

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°.

  2. Place one sheet of puff pastry on a piece of parchment paper and roll out until big enough to cover a 9-1/2" springform pan. Place in the pan and trim off the square edges. Stab bottom in places with a fork.

  3. Sprinkle almond flour to cover the bottom of the puff pastry-lined pan. Arrange plum quarters over, place in oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until puff pastry lightly browns.

  4. While puff pastry and plums bake, whisk together in a bowl the egg, sugar and whipping cream.

  5. Once puff pastry is done, remove from oven and pour the mixture over. Place back in oven and bake for an additional 15-20 or until mixture turns a golden yellow.

  6. Let cool briefly. Remove tart from pan and peel back parchment paper. 

  7. Serve warm or room temperature.
