Pairing: Fruit-based desserts

Recipe

Ingredients

  • Fresh Fruits (e.g., berries, peaches, apples): Provides the primary flavor and sweetness. Seasonal fruits enhance freshness and flavor.
  • Sugar: Balances the tartness of the fruit, contributing to the overall sweetness and caramelization when baking.
  • Flour (for tarts or crumbles): Creates the crust or topping, providing structure and texture.
  • Butter: Adds richness and flavor to the crust, making it flaky and tender.
  • Eggs (if applicable): Helps bind ingredients together in recipes like custards or cakes.
  • Spices (e.g., cinnamon, nutmeg): Enhance the flavor profile and add warmth to the dish.
  • Cream or Ice Cream (optional): Offers a creamy contrast to the fruity flavors, enhancing the dessert's richness.

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) if baking a tart or crumble.
  2. Prepare the crust: In a bowl, combine flour, sugar, and butter. Mix until crumbly. Press the mixture into a pie dish or tart pan, creating an even layer. Bake for about 10-15 minutes until lightly golden.
  3. Prepare the filling: Wash and slice your chosen fruits. Mix them with sugar and spices in a separate bowl, allowing them to macerate for about 10-15 minutes.
  4. Combine: If using a custard base, whisk eggs and cream together, then gently fold in the macerated fruits.
  5. Bake: Pour the fruit mixture into the pre-baked crust. Bake for an additional 25-30 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is lightly browned.
  6. Cool and serve: Let the dessert cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm with a scoop of ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.
