Bruleed Coffee and Pear Tart

Doesn’t Bruleed Coffee and Pear Tart sound very fancy. Well fancy it is and delicious tops the tart! You would think such a fancy-named tart would be complicated to make, however, our recipe has a few ingredients and simple steps to follow. I always find it quicker to use a pre-made shortcrust pastry, thawed, gently baked then filled with a coffee cream center and Beurre Bosc pears that go a little crispy when baked in the oven.

Don’t forget the finely chopped glaced ginger and a touch of blow torch fire to take your tart to perfection!

To make Bruleed Coffee and Pear Tart, you will need the following ingredients:

Steps to make Bruleed Coffee and Pear Tart

1	Preheat oven
Preheat the oven to 355 °F.
2	Prepare pastry and freeze	30
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the thawed pastry large enough to cover a 25-cm tart dish, about 5 mm thick. Gently press into a tart dish and pierce a few times with a fork. Freeze for about 30 minutes.
3	Bake pastry	20
Remove from the freezer, cover the pastry with some baking paper and place pastry weights or beans on top. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes.
4	Second bake for pastry	15
Remove the baking paper and weights and return to the oven to bake for another 15 minutes until golden. Allow to cool.
5	Caramelize pears	18
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the pear slices with ½ cup of brown sugar, 2 teaspoons of finely chopped candied ginger and 1 tablespoon of water. Cook, stirring a few times, for about 5-8 minutes until the pear is soft and caramelised. Allow to cool for about 10 minutes before spooning into the cooled pastry base. Transfer the tart to a baking sheet.
6	Prepare custard filling	3
In a saucepan over low heat, combine 150 ml of milk with 150 ml of thickened cream and 1 tablespoon of coffee granules. Bring to a gentle boil then remove from the heat.
7	Combine egg and sugar	5
In a separate bowl, whisk 3 eggs with ⅓ cup of brown sugar until completely combined and creamy. Then, gently stir in the warm coffee milk until combined well. Pour over the pears in the tart.
8	Bake tart	25
Bake the tart in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes until the custard is just set.
9	Cool	4h
The tart needs to cool completely for about 2 hours then chill for a further 2 hours to overnight until cold.
10	Make brûlée topping	2
Gently sift sugar over the tart and use a blowtorch for a crispy brûlée topping.
11	Serve
Cut, serve and enjoy!
