  • 2-3 tsp water

Instructions

Filling
    Cup of Yum
  1. Combine the marzipan, egg white, and strawberry jam and mix until everything es well incorporated. Set aside.
Puff Pastry Tart
  1. Preheat the oven to 390° F (200° C).
  2. Wash, pit and slice plums. Set aside.
  3. Roll out your puff pastry dough on parchment paper and place onto baking sheet.
  4. Spread the marzipan filling on the dough making sure to leave 1-2 inches of space on all sides.
  5. Place the sliced plums on the marzipan filling, again making sure to leave 1-2 inches of space on all sides.
  6. Fold the sides of the dough over the plums pinching carefully in the corners.
Topping
  1. Beat the egg yolk with a fork a bit and using a pastry brush, brush the egg on all the edges.
  2. Sprinkle the edges with almonds and brown sugar.
  3. Bake for 35 minutes or until the sides turn a good dark brown color.
Glaze
  1. Meanwhile, make the glaze by adding powdered sugar to a bowl and adding the water one teaspoon at a time. You might not use up all the water. The glaze should be thick, but still runny enough to drizzle over the tart.
  2. Drizzle the glaze on the tart and especially the edges to make them pretty.
  3. Serve warm.

Notes

  • - Tart is best eaten the same day. Though it keeps for 1-2 days, the dough will no longer be crispy and flaky on the second day.
