Ingredient Notes and Variations

- Dulce de leche: It is the recipe’s key ingredient. It adds richness and sweetness to the tart. If it is not available, you can use caramel sauce instead.
- Pear: It is the starting ingredient of the dessert. You can use a variety of other fruits to make the treat more innovative and for a distinctive flavor profile.

How To Make Dulce Pear Tart?
1: Prepare the tart dough
Mix the sugar and flour in a bowl until well combined. Mix the butter with your hands with the flour to get a crumbly mixture.
In another bowl, whisk vanilla and eggs. Combine the wet and dry ingredients and make a dough. Make a disk-like dough shape and wrap it in the cling film.
Place in the fridge for 60 minutes. After 60 minutes, roll the dough up to ¼ inch thickness and transfer it to the tart pan.
2: Prepare dulce de leche filling
Before filling, preheat the oven and keep the temperature to 350℉.
Spread the dulce de leche on the tart crust.
Make a circular pattern and place one pear slice over the other slice’s edge until you reach the center.
3: Bake the tart
Place the tart pan in the oven and bake for 20 to 30 minutes. Let it cool at room temperature. Enjoy!
Serving Suggestions and Pairings
I recommend serving the pear tart with freshly whipped cream; or you can serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. And, for pairing the coffee, tea, or spiced cider can best complement its warm flavors.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
