🥄 Texture

The baked puff pastry is golden and flaky with crisp, layered edges and a tender, slightly airy interior. Whipped cream provides a light, smooth creaminess, fresh fruit adds juicy, pulpy bursts, and chopped walnuts contribute a crunchy, slightly chewy contrast.

👃 Aroma

A warm, buttery and slightly toasty pastry scent is dominant, complemented by sweet dairy notes from the whipped cream. Bright, fruity notes of strawberry, peach, kiwi and blueberry lift the aroma, with a subtle nutty undertone from the walnuts.

🍷 Pairs Well With

Chilled Prosecco or a light, slightly sweet Riesling; alternatively a floral white wine (Moscato d'Asti) or for non-alcoholic pairing, sparkling water with a lemon twist or a mild green tea.

🥗 Side Dishes

A simple arugula salad with lemon vinaigrette to cut richness, a small scoop of lemon or raspberry sorbet for extra freshness, or a light cheese plate with brie or mascarpone and plain crackers.

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the thawed puff pastry sheet on a baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes until golden and puffy. Remove and let cool for 5 minutes.

  2. 2

    While the pastry cools, pour the heavy cream into a bowl and whip it by hand with a whisk for 2-3 minutes until soft peaks form. Gently stir in the powdered sugar.

  3. 3

    Once the pastry is cooled, spread the whipped cream evenly across the entire surface using a knife or spatula.

  4. 4

    Arrange all the fresh fruits (kiwi, strawberries, blueberries, and peach slices) on top of the cream in a decorative pattern. Sprinkle the chopped walnuts over the fruit.

  5. 5

    Slice the tart into 4 equal pieces and serve immediately. The tart is best enjoyed fresh within 30 minutes of assembly.
