The tart has a flaky, buttery puff pastry base that provides a crisp snap and light layers. A soft, airy whipped cream topping contrasts with the juicy, tender fruit slices while chopped walnuts add occasional crunchy bites.
A warm, toasty butter aroma from the baked puff pastry is joined by sweet, creamy notes from the whipped cream and powdered sugar. Bright, fresh fruit scents (strawberry, kiwi, peach) mingle with a subtle nutty fragrance from the walnuts.
Chilled lightly sweet sparkling wine (e.g., Moscato d'Asti) or a dry Champagne; nonalcoholic options include iced herbal tea or a mildly sweet cold-brew coffee.
Serve with a small scoop of vanilla ice cream or lemon sorbet, a simple citrus-arugula salad for contrast, or a light cheese plate with mild cheeses and extra fresh fruit.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the puff pastry sheet on a baking tray and bake for 12-15 minutes until golden and puffed. Remove and let cool for 5 minutes.
While the pastry cools, pour the heavy cream into a bowl and add 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar. Whisk by hand for 2-3 minutes until the cream becomes thick and fluffy (like soft whipped cream).
Spread the whipped cream evenly over the cooled pastry, leaving a small border around the edges.
Arrange your sliced fruits on top of the cream in a colorful pattern. Sprinkle the chopped walnuts over the fruit and dust lightly with the remaining powdered sugar.
Slice and serve immediately. This tart is best enjoyed fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 2 hours.
