Almond Pear Tart

Ok first of all I got to say personally I don’t like tarts, but I know a lot of people loves tarts!!!! J I have not tried out the tart recipes out there, so far i have made only the recipes that I have come up with. This one I have made a few times and every time I have made it who ever who had it loved it. So I thought to share it with everyone.  

 

Do you know the history of pear – well this is what I found in Wikipedia

The cultivation of the pear in cool temperate climates extends to the remotest antiquity, and there is evidence of its use as a food since prehistoric times. Many traces of it have been found in the Swiss lake-dwellings.

 

Recipe

• Recipe makes 6 serving
• Prep time 15 mins
• Cook time 30 mins

 

Ingredients

½ Cup Condense milk

2 Egg yolks

2 Extra Large Eggs

¼ cup heavy cream

2 Pears cut into slices

¼ cup of almond slices

1 tsp almond extract

Few Amaretto cookies (you can have extra for garnish)

1 Store bought pie crust

Directions

1.     Whisk together the condense milk, heavy cream, almond flavor, egg yolks and eggs.

2.     Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Set out an 8-inch tart pan, or, if you'll be making a free-form tart lightly grease a baking sheet.

3.     Transfer the pie crust to tart pan or baking sheet. Arrange the pear slices decoratively in the tart pastry. If you're baking the tart on a baking sheet, leave a 2-inch rim of dough and fold it up over the edge of the fruit.

4.     Pour the egg mixture over the pears. Add almond slices and crushed amaretto cookies over the tart.

5.     Bake the tart in the preheated oven until the crust is browned and the filling is bubbly, about 30 minutes. Remove the tart from the oven and brush it with the apricot jam and garnish it with amaretto cookies.

6.     You can serve this with vanilla ice cream or fresh cream.
