A puff pastry tart with frangipane & plums, topped with plum jam and flaked almonds. Delicious, easy and vegan-friendly!
Ingredients
- 1 sheet ready rolled puff pastry
- Approx 8 medium plums, stoned and sliced
- 1 tbsp agave nectar
- Toasted flaked almond, for decorating
Frangipane
- 100 g / 1 cup ground almonds
- 1 tsp almond extract
- 2 tbsp almond milk
- 1 tbsp agave nectar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 190C / 375F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place the puff pastry sheet on the baking tray and lightly score a 2cm border around the pastry sheet, with a sharp knife. Score a criss-cross pattern in the middle to stop it rising too much.
- Make the frangipane by mixing the ground almonds, almond extract, almond milk and agave together into a smooth paste. Spread onto the puff pastry sheet, avoiding the borders.
- Next, layer on the plum slices until the tart is covered. There should be some leftover slices that will be used later for a glaze.
- Bake the tart for 30-35 minutes until the pastry is flaky and risen and the plums are tender and juicy.
- With the leftover plum slices, make a quick "jam" by adding them to a non-stick pan on low-medium heat and cook with the lid on for a few minutes until the plums are soft and the juices have run into the pan. Stir in the agave nectar and using a pastry brush, paint the liquid on top of the plum slices to create a sweet glaze.
- Scatter the toasted flaked almonds on top to decorate and serve!
