Equipment

  • mini muffin tins
  • frying pan

Ingredients
  

  • I recipe sweet pastry
  • 5 pears of any variety peeled and diced small
  • cup brown sugar lightly packed
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 1 cup whipping cream
  • 3 tablespoons sugar I use superfine
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

  • Roll pastry and cut into 24 4" circles. Place each circle into non-stick mini muffin tin. Dock the bottom of each with a fork to prevent puffing up of the pastry. Bake at 350 degrees for 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool.
  • In a frying pan add pears, butter and brown sugar. Cook over median heat until pears are slightly tender and caramelized with the thickened butter/brown sugar sauce. Approximately 7 to 10 minutes.
  • Fill prepared tart shells with a heaping tablespoon of caramelized pears and allow to cool.
  • Meanwhile in a chilled mixing bowl whip heavy cream at high until soft peaks form. Mix sugar and cinnamon and add to whipping cream. Continue whipping on high until stiff peaks are reached.
  • Fill a piping bag with whipped cream and pipe onto cooled tarts.
