Today I present to you a Tart with Half Peaches and Almonds, resting on a crispy puff pastry. A true delight, very easy to prepare, light and tasty. The best way to enjoy peaches when you have them in abundance and can’t use them all or when you want a treat to pamper yourself. Accompanied by a scoop of ice cream, it will be even more delicious. To make it suitable for celiacs, just use gluten-free puff pastry and gluten-free flour for dusting the pan. If you prefer, you can replace the puff pastry base with a shortcrust pastry base.

Ingredients

1 puff pastry (round of approx. 230g, gluten-free for the celiac version)
12 peaches (of approx. 70g each)
3 eggs
3.5 oz mascarpone
5 tbsp brown sugar
3.5 tbsp butter
7 oz almonds
1/3 cup milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
as needed butter (for greasing the pan)
as needed flour (for dusting the pan, gluten-free for the celiac version)
as needed powdered sugar (optional)

Steps

Butter and lightly flour (using gluten-free flour for the celiac version) a pan with a diameter of 10 inches. I used one with a springform, so it’s easier to take the cake out.
Place the puff pastry upside down over the pan.
Line the pan with the puff pastry, use the gluten-free version for celiacs and gently remove the parchment paper. Try to make it stick to the sides and level it.
Now wash the peaches, peel them, cut them in half, remove the pit, and arrange them in the pan pit side down, trying to form concentric circles.
In a bowl, combine the eggs, sugar, mascarpone, and butter previously melted in the microwave in a glass.
Beat the ingredients well with a whisk.
Put the almonds in a mixer.
Run it until they’re reduced to a flour. You can also leave it a bit coarse, it will give the cake a crunch effect. Now add them to the egg mixture.
Mix the ingredients, add the milk and vanilla extract, and whisk everything well together.
Pour the mixture over the peaches in the pan.
Bake at 350°F for about 30 minutes.
If you like, dust with powdered sugar. To make it more indulgent, you can accompany it with a scoop of ice cream, it will be irresistible!
