Instructions

  1. 1 Gather Ingredients. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set out two 6-ounce ramekins.
  2. 2 Place puff pastry sheet on a work surface and let thaw for just 5 minutes; it should still be partially frozen and very firm. Use a round pastry cutter the same diameter as your ramekins to cut out 2 rounds of dough. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Prick each pastry round all over with a fork.
  3. 3 Bake in the preheated oven until the pastries are puffed up and the bottoms are golden brown, about 15 minutes.
  4. 4 Remove from the oven and slide parchment paper off the baking pan onto a work surface; press warm pastries down lightly with the back of a fork to deflate them a bit. Let cool.
  5. 5 Increase the oven temperature to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Mix brown sugar, white sugar, a pinch of cinnamon, and a very small pinch of salt together in a bowl.
  6. 6 Use 1 1/2 teaspoons butter to generously grease the bottom and sides of each ramekin. Spoon the sugar mixture evenly into each ramekin, reserving about 1 1/2 teaspoons for later. Shake ramekins gently to settle and flatten the sugar mixture.
  7. 7 Fill a bowl with 3 cups cold water. Add lemon juice.
  8. 8 Turn one apple on its side; trim about 1/4 inch off the top and bottom of the apple, then cut it in half through the center. Repeat with the second apple.
  9. 9 Peel around the apple halves to remove the peel; discard. Continue to peel the flesh, making ribbons as long and as thick as possible until you reach the core, letting the ribbons drop into the water. As long as your ribbons are 3- to 4-inches long, that's fine.
  10. 10 Pull out 3 to 4 of the longest ribbons and line them up on a work surface into one long ribbon, overlapping the ends an inch or so.
  11. 11 Roll the ribbon up tightly to form the center of the tart, then turn it up on its end.
  12. 12 Coil more ribbons around the center, overlapping as you go, until you have a coil that's the same diameter as your ramekin. Pick up the apple coil and place it into the ramekin, with the flat side on top of the sugar. Repeat to make the second tart.
  13. 13 Dot 1/2 teaspoon butter over each tart, then sprinkle with the remaining sugar mixture.
  14. 14 Top each tart with a pastry round, placing the fork-poked side down on the apples.
  15. 15 Bake in the preheated oven until pastries have browned and juices are bubbling, about 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and press the hot pastries down gently with a fork. Let cool for about 10 minutes.
  16. 16 Run a knife around each pastry, then turn over onto serving plates. Use a spoon to go around each tart to separate the layers and create more definition, if desired.
  17. 17 Serve and enjoy!

  4. 4 Spread puff pastry squares on a flat work surface. Place 1 tablespoon of the apple mixture in the middle of each square. Fold the corners of each square upward and pinch the edges together to make sure the filling stays in place. Put the squares on a baking sheet.
  5. 5 Bake in the preheated oven until the pastry rises and turns golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes.

Instructions

  1. 1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. 2 Cut cream cheese into 1/4-inch thick slices; place cut side-down on a board and cut into logs.
  3. 3 Place 1 cup sugar into a small bowl; place cream cheese logs into sugar and roll to coat. Set aside.
  4. 4 Cut each puff pastry sheet evenly into 3 or 4 squares, no bigger than 5-to-6 inches each. Place 1 square in front of you with 1 corner pointing down. Place 1 sugar-covered cheese log about 1/3 up from the bottom corner; proceed to fold pastry around it in the same manner as an egg roll, with the bottom corner over cheese, side corners towards the center, then roll from bottom, up. Brush some water in the last corner to seal roll.
  5. 5 Place quesito on the prepared pan, seam-side down. Repeat with all squares, making sure there is at least 1-inch between them.
  6. 6 Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes.
  7. 7 Remove from the oven and let sit for 5 minutes. Brush tops with corn syrup.

  1. 1 Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. 2 On a lightly floured surface, roll puff pastry to 13x13 inches square. With a sharp knife, trim to 12x12 inches. Cut into 3 equal strips, 4x12 inches. Poke each strip several times with a fork. Arrange on prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle with hazelnuts.
  3. 3 Bake in preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until puffed and golden. Allow to cool. If not equal in size, trim with a serrated knife, using a gentle sawing motion.
  4. 4 Melt chocolate in a bowl over barely simmering water, stirring constantly, until smooth. Cool to room temperature. In a large bowl, beat together cream cheese, brown sugar and coffee until smooth. Blend in melted chocolate. Fold in ground hazelnuts and almonds. In a large bowl, whip cream until peaks form. Fold 1/3 of the whipped cream into the cheese mixture, then quickly fold in remaining whipped cream until no streaks remain.
  5. 5 Spread 1/3 of filling on a strip of puff pastry. Repeat layers. Refrigerate for 3 hours, or until set. With a serrated knife, cut into 10 slices using a gentle sawing motion.

  1. 1 Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  2. 2 Heat an oven-proof skillet over medium heat. Sprinkle white sugar evenly into the bottom of the skillet; cook until sugar melts and turns golden brown, about 1 minute. Reduce heat to low and stir butter into sugar. Stir cinnamon into butter mixture and remove from heat.
  3. 3 Dip each plantain slice into butter mixture to coat on both sides. Arrange coated plantains in a shingled pattern to cover the bottom of the skillet.
  4. 4 Spread puff pastry sheet over plantains, tucking corners into the skillet.
  5. 5 Bake in the preheated oven until puff pastry is golden brown, 30 to 35 minutes. Remove from oven and cool briefly. Place a serving plate upside-down over the top of the skillet; flip the skillet to remove tarte tatin from the pan.
  6. 6 Whisk mascarpone cheese and confectioners' sugar together in a bowl until smooth. Spread a large dollop of mascarpone mixture over the top of the plantains. Serve with remaining mascarpone mixture on the side.
