Easy Peach Puff Pastry Tart – VIDEO RECIPE

how to cook Easy Peach Puff Pastry Tart?

STEP 1

To start, preheat your oven to 220°C (430⁰F). Give the peaches a good wash, remove the pit, and slice them thinly.

TIPS: When it comes to baking, it’s best to use firm varieties of peaches or slightly underripe fruits. This way, they will maintain their shape and texture in your finished baked goods. Alternatively, nectarines can also work well in this recipe.

TIPS: If you want to effortlessly remove the pit from peaches, here’s a simple method. Start by cutting the fruit in half lengthwise, right down to the pit. Then, rotate one half around its axis. Voila! The pit should come out smoothly, leaving you with perfectly pitted peaches.

TIPS: If you’re not a fan of the fuzzy skin on peaches, fear not! There’s an easy way to remove it. Simply plop those juicy fruits into a bowl of boiling water for 1-2 minutes, and voila! You can easily peel off the skin.

STEP 2

Next, grab a bowl and place the egg yolks in it. Add sugar, vanilla sugar, starch, and pour in 1 tbsp. (15 g) of peach juice. Mix everything together until it’s well combined.

STEP 3

In a saucepan, pour in the milk and the remaining peach juice. Put it on the heat and bring it to a boil.

TIPS: Beware of store-bought peach juice, as it may contain high levels of citric acid that can curdle your milk. To avoid this unfortunate mishap, dilute the juice with water until you’ll get the necessary amount. This way, you can enjoy your peachy concoctions without any curdling surprises.

STEP 4

Now, take a third of the hot milk and pour it into the peach-egg mixture. Stir quickly to incorporate everything.

STEP 5

Then, pour this mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining milk and place it over medium heat. Keep stirring constantly until the mixture thickens.

STEP 6

Once the custard is ready, transfer it to a bowl and add ground nuts. Give it a good stir.

TIPS: Feel free to choose your favorite nuts or peanuts, ensuring they are finely ground. You can grind the nuts in a coffee grinder or kitchen chopper. Alternatively, nut flour like almond flour can be used as a substitute for ground nuts.

STEP 7

To prevent a film from forming on the surface of the custard, cover it with cling film in contact and let it cool.

STEP 8

Take the puff pastry, which should be thawed according to the instructions on the package, and place it on a lightly floured work surface.

TIPS: If you’re looking for recommendations on working with puff pastry and three different ways to defrost it, check out our informative articles: “How to Thaw Frozen Puff Pastry“, “How to Bake Frozen Puff Pastry in Oven“, and “Tips How to Make Puff Pastry Recipes“.

STEP 9

Roll out the puff pastry into a 23cm x 23cm square. If you want precise measurements, you can use a ruler.

TIPS: If cracks appear while you’re working with puff pastry, don’t worry! Simply moisten them with a little water and then press down with your fingers to bring the dough back together. Easy peasy!

STEP 10

Transfer the rolled-out dough to a baking sheet that’s been lined with parchment paper.

STEP 11

Spread the cooled custard in a thick layer over the center of the dough, leaving a 2 cm border around the edges.

STEP 12

Arrange the peach slices in rows on top of the custard. Fold the edges of the pastry to create a border.

STEP 13

Sprinkle some powdered sugar and almond flakes over the cake.

STEP 14

Place the baking sheet with the cake in the preheated oven at 220°C (430⁰F) and bake it for 15-20 minutes.

STEP 15

While the cake is baking, mix apricot juice with sugar in a saucepan. Place the saucepan on the stove and bring the mixture to a boil. Allow it to boil until it thickens into a syrupy consistency.

STEP 16

Once your cake is done baking, take it out of the oven and let it cool for a bit. Then, generously spread the apricot syrup over the peach slices, ensuring that it covers them evenly.

TIPS: To make spreading the syrup over the peaches a breeze, use a silicone pastry brush. It’s the perfect tool for the job and will give you a smooth and even application.

STEP 17
