Ingredients

  • 500 puff pastry 
  •  peaches ripe cut into 6 wedges
  • servings crème fraîche 
  • 175 almond flour 
  • 50 almonds flaked toasted plus a handful more to decorate
  • 250 mascarpone cheese 
  • 25 butter softened
  • 200 brown sugar 
  •  eggs 
  • 0.5 tsp almond extract 

Equipment

  • oven

Directions

  1. Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas
  2. Roll out the pastry on a floured surface until big enough to line a 23cm tart tin with an overhang. Line the tin with pastry, gently folding overhanging pastry down the outside of the tin, then prick all over with a fork. Line with greaseproof paper; sit a 20cm sandwich tin on top (it should fit snugly). Fill with baking beans, then blind-bake for 20-25 mins until the sides are set.
  3. Remove the beans, tin and paper and cook for 10 -15 mins more until golden, risen and crisp. Cool a little, then trim the overhang and press down any risen bits.
  4. Lower oven to 180C/160C fan/gas
  5. Beat together the filling ingredients, spoon into the tin and top with the peaches. Scatter with 1 tbsp caster sugar and extra flaked almonds, then bake for 40 mins until puffed up and golden, with a slight wobble in the centre. Cool to room temperature and serve with crme frache.
