Rhubarb Tarts with Whipped Cream Topping
Servings: Makes 4 individual tarts
For The Tarts:
12 oz. (350 g) prepared puff pastry
1 pound (450 g) rhubarb, washed and thinly sliced
6 oz. (150 g) unsalted butter, melted
3/4 cup (150 g) granulated sugar
For The Topping:
1 cup (250 ml) heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup (100 g) granulated sugar
Dash of Irish whiskey (optional)
For The Tarts:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 C). Roll the pastry out to make
four 4 inch (10cm) diameter discs, then pleat the pastry all round
the edge. Carefully arrange the sliced rhubarb on top of each pastry
disc, making sure there are no gaps, then brush with the melted
butter and sprinkle the sugar over. Cook in preheated oven for 30
minutes.
For The Topping:
To make the topping, whip the cream then whisk in the sugar and
whiskey. When the rhubarb is tender and nicely caramelised on top,
serve on heated plates with the whiskey cream and a sprig of fresh
mint to garnish.
