Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 package puff pastry sheets
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup red grapes
- 1 cup green grapes
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon water
- 6 leaves fresh mint leaves
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the puff pastry sheets to ensure an even thickness. Cut the pastry into 6 equal rectangles or circles, depending on your preferred tart shape.
Transfer the pastry pieces onto the prepared baking sheet. Using a knife, gently score a 1/2-inch border around each piece, being careful not to cut all the way through.
In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and creamy.
Spread a generous tablespoon of the ricotta mixture onto the center of each pastry, staying within the scored borders.
Slice the red and green grapes in half and arrange them on top of the ricotta layer in an overlapping pattern. Use approximately 6-8 grape halves per tart.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash. Brush the edges of the puff pastry with the egg wash for a golden finish.
Bake the tarts in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
Remove the tarts from the oven and let them cool slightly on the baking sheet.
Drizzle each tart with honey and garnish with a fresh mint leaf before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature for the best flavor.
