Macerating the fruit in a bit of sugar and acid (strawberries and balsamic vinegar are natural allies) helps draw out their natural juices and makes an ideal filling for pastry shells.

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 17.5 ounce box puff pastry, thawed
1 large egg, lightly beaten
Sugar, for sprinkling
3 cups fruit (such as apricots, strawberries, cherries, or mango), sliced
2 to 3 tablespoons sugar or honey
2 to 3 teaspoons citrus juice or balsamic vinegar
Pinch of salt
3 cups lightly sweetened whipped cream

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Unfold each sheet of puff pastry onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and cut each into 4 squares. With a paring knife, lightly score a border 3/4 inch from edges. Brush border with egg and sprinkle with sugar. Freeze 10 minutes. Bake until puffed and golden, about 15 minutes. Let cool. Gently press center to flatten.
  • Meanwhile, combine fruit, sugar, citrus juice, and salt. Let stand 10 minutes. Fill shells with cream and top with fruit mixture. Serve immediately.

The tarts were a bit dry. I think I should have brushed them with egg wash before baking.

The tarts were a little too sweet for my taste, but I think that's because I used a store-bought fruit filling. Next time I'll try making my own.
