Pear Almond Tart
Inspired by the Parisian delicacy Tarte Bourdalou, this French Pear Almond Tart transforms simple ingredients into a refined centerpiece. Imported from France, it showcases tender, skinless pear halves nestled into a smooth almond creme, all set within a light custard filling. The natural sweetness of the pears offers a subtle contrast to the rich, nutty undertones. Its artful design and distinctive flavor profile bring a sophisticated alternative to the more common apple desserts.
Arriving fully baked for effortless entertaining, this tart simply needs to be thawed and served-though it can be lightly warmed for added indulgence. Perfect for brunch spreads, holiday tables, or as a graceful finale to a fall dinner, it serves beautifully with a dollop of whipped cream and a glass of Moscato or Chenin Blanc.
For a complete French-inspired dessert spread, pair it alongside our French Beignets and Gateau Basque.
Each Pear Almond Tart is 10", serves 8.
