Tart with Pears, Pudding and Hazelnuts

Tweet

Pears are one of my favourite fruits to eat in any form. Here we will make pear tart with a smooth filling of vanilla pudding topped up with some hazelnuts. All of this on a buttery and crumbly pastry. One big treat that takes no time to prepare.

This easy recipe is something to impress your family and friends. I always viewed tarts as an elegant and delicate dessert that brings this wow factor when served. I guess it’s because of the pastry. We tend to think that it is something so hard to do and we don’t really take the initiative to try and just give it a go. Let me tell you that combining the right amount of butter, sugar and flour is the easiest thing. So don’t worry and don’t overthink it! You can definitely do it!

What do we need? What type of puuding am I talking about? We need a polish sachet of powder vanilla budyń. You can find those in polish delis. I also use a polish sour cream called Śmietana 18% but you can swap it to just normal sour cream. All other ingredients you can easily buy in your local shops.
