Mini plum tarts with harissa crème

By Abigail Donnelly
6 mini tarts
Easy
15 minutes
25 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 x 250 g sheet Woolworths Frozen All Butter Puff Pastry Sheets, thawed
  • 6 ripe plums, halved and pitted
  • 2 T brown sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 T Belazu Rose Harissa
  • 125 g Woolworths Cultured Cream Crème Fraîche
  • 30 g pistachios, roughly chopped

Method

1. Preheat oven to 200°C. Using a cookie cutter, cut out 6 rounds of pastry and place on a lined baking tray. Prick with a fork and bake for 12–15 minutes or until puffed and golden. Cool slightly, then gently press the centre of each round with the base of a small cup to create a shallow indent for the filling.

2. In a saucepan, combine plums, water and sugar. Simmer gently for 10–12 minutes or until the plums are tender but holding shape. Cool in the syrup.

3. Mix the Belazu Rose Harissa into crème fraîche. Taste and adjust accordingly.

4. To assemble, top each pastry round with a spoonful of harissa crème, a plum half (or two), and sprinkle with pistachios.

Cook’s note: These tarts aren’t just for dessert – they make a sophisticated addition to a cheese course. Serve them alongside creamy brie or sharp aged cheddar for a memorable sweet-savoury bite.
