Maple and Mascarpone Fruit Tart ~ a crazy quick 4 ingredient puff pastry tart that you can make with plums, apples, pears, figs, or any other fruit you love. Impress your friends with what you can do with 4 simple ingredients in a little over half and hour!
4 ouncesmascarpone cheese (half of an 8 ounce tub)
6-8plums (I like to have extra just in case)
1/4cupmaple 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.
