Pear Tarte Tatin image

This is a delicious dessert with a slight twist on the traditional as it uses pears instead of apples and incorporates yogurt into the toffee sauce for extra creaminess.

Time 50m

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

150g Plain flour
125g Yeo Valley butter, at room temperature
65g caster sugar
1-2 tbsp cold water
450g small dessert pears eg Rocha, peeled and cored
75ml Yeo Valley toffee yogurt plus some to serve

Steps:

  • Sieve the flour into a bowl and rub in 100g butter until it resembles breadcrumbs. Stir in 15g sugar and 1-2 Tbsp water to form a firm dough. Chill until required.
  • Grease and line the base of a 17.5cm sandwich cake tin with baking paper and place onto a baking tray.
  • Heat the remaining 25g butter with the remaining 50g sugar gently in a small heavy based pan until the sugar dissolves and the mixture turns golden brown. Remove from the heat, allow to cool a little and then add the yogurt, stirring well (if the toffee hardens, continue stirring until it dissolves)
  • Pour half of the sauce into the base of the lined tin, cut the pears into quarters and arrange over the toffee, packing in well. Pour over the remaining toffee.
  • Roll out the pastry on a floured surface slightly larger than the tin and place over the pears, tucking in at the sides and cook in a preheated oven, Gas 6,200 C for 25-30 minutes until the pastry is golden.
  • Allow to cool a little then place a plate on top of the tin and turn the tart out so that the pears are on the top. Serve with extra toffee yogurt.
