Time 1h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 sheet frozen puff pastry (8 1/2 ounces)
2 teaspoons milk
3 tablespoons dark brown sugar
2 medium papayas, peeled and cut lengthwise into 1/4-inch-thick slices (any left over can be used for the sorbet)
Juice of 2 or 3 limes (to taste)

Steps:

  • Allow 1 piece of puff pastry dough to defrost at room temperature (about 30 minutes).
  • Place a rack in the middle of oven, and heat to 400 degrees.
  • Open out the sheet of puff pastry. On a lightly floured surface, roll it out until it is about 1/8 inch thick. Cut out a 9-inch circle. Place on a parchment-covered baking sheet (or a baking sheet covered with greased aluminum foil). Leaving a 1/4-inch rim, prick the center of the dough all over with the tines of a fork. With a pastry brush, lightly coat the center of the dough with the milk. Push 1 tablespoon of the sugar through a coarse sieve to distribute evenly over the center of the dough. Bake for 5 minutes.
  • Gently toss the papaya with the lime juice. Remove the tart shell from the oven, and lay the papaya slices in a spoke pattern on the shell. Push the remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar through a coarse sieve evenly over the top of the fruit.
  • Return to the oven for 15 minutes, until the crust is golden and the sugar is caramelized. Remove from the oven, and slide off the baking pan onto a rack. Cool slightly and serve, or cool completely and reheat slightly just before serving. Cut into wedges with large kitchen scissors.

I'm allergic to papaya, but I was able to make this tart using mango instead. It was still delicious!

I'm not usually a fan of papaya, but I really enjoyed this tart. The sweetness of the papaya was balanced out nicely by the tartness of the filling.

This papaya tart was a delight! The combination of the sweet papaya and the creamy filling was perfect. The crust was flaky and buttery, and the tart was easy to make. I will definitely be making this again.
