Super sweet fresh tart I made this tart using an alternative brand of puff pastry. I found it formed quite a thick crust, which didn’t stick very well together at the joins in the puff pastry. Then again this was my first time working with puff pastry. The tart was delightfully moist, but I found it much too sweet for my taste – I would suggest omitting the final sprinkling of vanilla sugar. It also acquired a slightly alcoholic flavour, but this may be due to the age of the pears I used.
The proportions of crust to filling were perfect and the recipe was easy to follow. The combination of pear and almond was delicious.

Pear quantity The ingredients list omits the pears. How many pears does one need to make this tart?
