Little caramelized peach tarts
This is an elegant summer dessert: a thin base of puff pastry, topped with caramelized peach slices.
For a delicious contrast of hot and cold, serve with the reduced caramel and citrus sauce poured over over hot and, at the last minute, a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top, .

Step by step recipe
| 1 |  | Preheat the oven to 430°F (220°C). Roll out the puff pastry and cut circles about 3-4 inches (8-10 cm) diameter, allowing one per peson. A cutter is the best way to do this. Lay the circles on a baking sheet and dust with icing sugar. Then lay a second baking sheet or wire rack on top to prevent them puffing up too much in the oven. |
4 min. |
| 2 |  | Bake for about 25 minutes until the pastry is nicely browned. Set aside. | 25 min. |
| 3 |  | Peel 3 peaches (use the same method as for tomatoes. Slice each peach into 8 segments and trim off the inner edge of each one, as this can sometimes be rather hard where it was next to the stone. |
15 min. |
| 4 |  | Melt 50 g butter in a large frying pan on high heat, then add 100 g caster sugar. Leave to caramelize slightly. |
4 min. |
| 5 |  | Add the sliced peaches... | |
| 6 |  | ...and sauté for 2 or 3 minutes in the caramel. | 3 min. |
| 7 |  | Sit a circle of puff pastry on each plate and arrange the peach slices on top. | 6 min. |
| 8 |  | Make a syrup by pouring the juice of 1 orange and ½ lemon into the pan (still on high heat). Leave to reduce, stirring from time to time, until the syrup thickens. |
7 min. |
| 9 |  | Pour over the sliced peaches while still hot. | 6 min. |
| 10 |  | Top with a ball or quenelle of vanilla ice cream and serve immediately. | 5 min. |
Remarks
This recipe can be varied with other fruits (citrus segments, for example) and different flavours of ice cream. Another delicious combination is white peaches with fresh mint ice-cream.
