Ingredients
- 2 Fuyu persimmons
- 1 lemon, juiced
- 4 sheets puff pastry
- 3 tbsp butter, melted
- 2 tbsp ground cinnamon
- 2 tbsp ground ginger
- 4 tbsp caster sugar
- 1 tbsp softened butter
- vanilla bean ice cream, to serve
Instructions
Preheat oven to 180ºC. Peel and slice the persimmons finely. Brush lightly with lemon juice.
Place pastry sheets on greased baking trays. Brush the puff pastry with melted butter, sprinkle with half the cinnamon, ginger and sugar. Arrange the persimmon slices onto the spiced pastry.
Sprinkle with the remaining ginger, cinnamon and sugar and dot with the softened butter.
Bake for 12 minutes. Turn the tart so the persimmons are face down and cook for another 5 minutes to caramelise. Turn the tart over (persimmons face up) and serve with vanilla bean ice cream.
