Instructions
- Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. - Prepare the Crust:
Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Using a round cutter or a glass, cut the dough into circles that will fit your tart pans or directly on the baking sheet. You can also cut it into squares for a rustic look. - Brush and Bake the Crusts:
Place the dough circles on the prepared baking sheet and brush the edges with melted butter. Sprinkle a little granulated sugar over the tops for added sweetness and a golden finish.
Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and puffed up. Remove from the oven and let them cool completely. - Make the Filling:
In a bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and beat until combined. Gradually add the heavy cream and continue mixing until the filling is smooth and creamy. - Assemble the Tarts:
Once the crusts have cooled, spoon a generous amount of the cream cheese filling onto each tart base and spread it evenly. - Top with Peaches:
Arrange the peach slices on top of the cream cheese filling in a circular pattern. You can drizzle a bit of honey over the peaches if you want extra sweetness and shine. - Garnish and Serve:
Optional: Garnish with fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and freshness. Serve immediately or refrigerate for an hour before serving for a chilled treat.
Notes
- You can use canned peaches if fresh ones are not available. Just make sure to drain and pat them dry before topping the tarts.
- For an extra touch, you can brush the peach slices with a little apricot jam to give them a glossy finish.
- If you prefer a different filling, you can substitute the cream cheese with mascarpone or ricotta cheese for a lighter texture.
