Ingredients
- 1 sheet of ready-rolled puff pastry
- 2 ripe pears, peeled, cored, and sliced
- 100g ground hazelnuts
- 100g unsalted butter, softened
- 100g caster sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 50g plain flour
- Zest of 1 lemon
- Powdered sugar, for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F). Grab a tart tin, about 23cm, and line it with your puff pastry, trimming off the excess. Prick the base with a fork to stop it from rising too much.
- In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and caster sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract and lemon zest.
- Now, add your ground hazelnuts and plain flour to the mixture, folding gently until combined. This is where the magic starts to happen!
- Spread the hazelnut filling evenly over the pastry base, then lay those sliced pears on top in a beautiful pattern. You want it to look good, so take your time with this step!
- Bake in your preheated oven for about 35-40 minutes or until the tart is golden brown and the filling has set. Your kitchen is gonna smell divine!
- Once it’s done, let it cool slightly before dusting with powdered sugar. Serve it warm, and if you’re feeling fancy, add a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side.
Enjoy this beautiful dessert with friends and family. It’s that perfect combination of sweet and nutty that will leave everyone asking for more. Happy baking!
