This is about the easiest dessert ever, unless you are just scooping a block of ice cream out of the cardboard container into a bowl, or perhaps eating Cool Whip out of the tub with a spoon. It’s just a few ingredients, a few minutes, and BOOM! You’ve created a nice baked good that might fool your loved ones that you spent hours in the kitchen.
Rule #1 for dessert deception is to have frozen puff pastry sheets in your freezer at all times. Believe me, it comes in super handy all the time. Next is a blob of mascarpone cheese (kind of like a Danish pastry), then layer on thin slices of fresh plum. I glazed it, put sugar on top and let it bake till browned and glorious.
It tasted and appeared sort of like an open faced pop tart.
Not that that’s a bad thing.
Ingredients
- 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
- 4 big Tbsp full Mascarpone (maybe 1/2 cup)
- 4 Tbsp raw sugar
- 1/4 cup plum syrup or comparable jelly, melted in the microwave
- 2 cups thinly sliced plums
Instructions
- Cut the puff pastry into four squares and fold the edges over to form a ridge around the outside.
- Place a big spoonful of Mascarpone on each pastry square and spread it evenly over the spare. Top with plum slices.
- Brush on some plum syrup or melted jelly to brighten. Sprinkle with raw sugrr
- Bake at 400 until golden brown, about 15-20 minutes.
