Ingredients
- 500g puff pastry, rolled into rectangles about 3mm thick

- ΒΌ cup demerara or brown sugar
- 300ml cream, lightly whipped
- 100g toasted hazelnuts, skins removed and lightly crushed
PEACH TART WITH TOASTED HAZELNUTS & CREAM
Method
- Place the pastry onto a baking tray and prick all over with a fork and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes
- Preheat the oven to 190C Bake the pastry for 10 minutes or until golden brown
- Remove from the oven
- Arrange the peaches snuggly onto the pastry, dot with butter and sprinkle over the sugar
- Bake for 10 minutes, then turn the oven setting on to grill
- Grill the peaches until they caramelise and the pastry almost burns as this will provide the tart with a wonderful contrast in flavour with the fruit
- Serve warm with a generous spoonful of cream and a sprinkling of toasted hazelnuts
