Servings: 12 servings
Equipment
- baking sheet
- parchment paper
Ingredients
- 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
- 4 ounces mascarpone cheese (half of an 8 ounce tub)
- 6-8 plums (I like to have extra just in case)
- 1/4 cup maple syrup (the real stuff)
garnish
- confectioners sugar
- ice cream
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400F
- Place the puff pastry sheet on a sheet of parchment paper and gently roll out to a slightly longer rectangle.
- Spread the surface with mascarpone cheese, leaving an inch and a half free around the whole perimeter.
- slice the plums in half, remove pits, and then slice each half in thin slices, keeping them together. Fit the sliced halves onto the tart, see my photos for reference.
- Gently roll up the edges of the dough to meet the fruit and form a crust.
- Brush the fruit with maple syrup and bake for about 25-30 minutes, until the crust is golden, the fruit glossy, and the mascarpone is sizzling.
- Dust with powdered sugar if you like, then cut into squares and serve with ice cream.
