"French Persimmon Tart"
So here’s my first attempt at making persimmon puff pastry tart. It turned out to be so simple and delicious. I was surprised how tasty cooked persimmons turned out. All you need is a tiny bit of sugar and butter, and ta-da - a sweet, rather creamy tart. No need to even peel the fruit. This tart has a lovely airy buttery crust and the ripe persimmons are currently in season so it was a great way to enjoy them. You can enjoy this persimmon tart–alone, with whipped cream, or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Ingredients:
1/6 Quick Pastry Puff Dough recipe
2-3 ripe persimmons thinly sliced
1/4 cup sugar
1 oz butter
Glaze:
2 tbs apricot jam
1 tbs peach brandy
Preheat the oven to 400 F.
Slice thinly persimmons.
Roll puff pastry into a large rectangle. Cut the edges to make em straight.
Fold in a thin piece to make a little crust crust. Start arranging persimmons from top corner.
Sprinkle sugar on the top.
Cut butter into small pieces and add on top. Bake on 400 F for 10 - 20 min depending on your oven.
To make glaze melt apricot preserve.
Add peach brandy.
Strain it.
Brush the top of the tart.
Enjoy!!!
That looks awesome!!! I wonder what it would taste like with apples?

DeleteHi there! quick question do you think I could could puff pastry for this? or would it grow too much
ReplyDeleteIf you use store bought dough, you will need to roll it a little thinner. I hope this answered your question.
DeleteYou mention spices in the opening paragraph but none are listed in the ingredients. Did you use cinnamon or nutmeg?
ReplyDeleteThanks, sounds delicious!
I skipped on spices, but you can any cinnamon or nutmeg :)
