This is an easy fruit tart recipe with almond!
This fruit tar I decide to use puff pastry as the crust. Simply summer! That sums up this recipe in a few words. When it is blistering hot outside, and you want to create a dessert that doesn't resort to slaving away all day in the kitchen. Then this, is your go to dessert!
Puff pastry, almond cream (paste), and fresh stone fruit (plums, nectarines, peaches, pluots, apricots). That's really all there is to this recipe. It can be eaten all times of the day and and doesn't need to be made specifically for dessert, brunch would also be great. You can purchase already perfect size square puff pastry so you don't even need to worry about cutting it. Make the cream place in the center of the pastry, add the fruit, egg wash and almonds. Bake and your done! Here is the recipe I hope you enjoy it!

- 12 each puff pastry (squares (5x5))
- 1 batch almond cream
Stone Fruit
- 3 each yellow nectarines (sliced)
- 4 each plums (sliced)
- 3 each white nectarines (sliced)
- 3 each peach (sliced)
Garnish
- 1 whole egg (beaten for egg wash)
- 1/3 cup sliced almonds
For the almond cream
-
Place almond meal, sugar, flour, and cornstarch in a food processor and puree for 30 seconds. Then while the machine is running add the butter a few tbsp. at a time. Once all the butter is in, add the eggs again while the machine is running.
You can stop to scrape the sides if there are any clumps but once the eggs have been added you should have a really smooth and creamy almond cream.
Finish with both the vanilla and almond extract and puree for another 10 seconds to incorporate well. Take out and place in a plastic disposable pastry bag
To finish
-
Take two sheet pans lined with parchment paper and place 6 puff pastry squares on each pan. Take the pastry bag filled with almond cream and pipe out 1 line of almond paste down the center of the puff pastry.
Then take sliced fruit (or figs) and place on top of the almond cream. Continue the same process with all of the puff pastry squares and fruit. Take egg wash and brush around the edges of the pastry. Top with almond slices and place in a preheated oven at 425 degrees.
Cook for 20-25 minutes until golden brown. You might want to rotate and re-adjust from the bottom rack in your oven to the top rack with both pans, for even baking. Once golden brown take out and cool completely. Serve and enjoy!
