Made with four simple ingredients, these Honey Date Upside-Down Puff Pastry Tarts are quick & easy to make, naturally sweet, and 100% crowd-pleasing! Dairy-free, Refined Sugar-Free, and Gluten-Free Option.
Tis the season of gathering, hosting, baking, and entertaining--reuniting with friends and family you haven't seen since this time last year (or longer!), carrying on traditions while also creating new ones. While this cheerful season is one so many of us anticipate all year, it can get pretty exhausting!
That's where these Honey Date Upside-Down Puff Pastry Tarts come to the rescue. The viral sensation of the upside-down pastry has taken kitchens by storm, loved for its ease and versatility--no fancy shaping or crimping needed! They are the perfect remedy when you're in a pinch and need something delicious expeditiously.
Flaky, caramel-y, and beautifully golden, these tarts turn four simple ingredients into an irresistible bite that will quickly become a crowd favorite! The natural sweetness of soft, chewy Joolies medjool dates and rich, creamy Wedderspoon Manuka Honey caramelize beneath a blanket of puff pastry, and are finished off with a glossy egg wash. Simple, yet indulgent, the flavor profiles of each ingredient meld together to deliver the perfect balance of natural sweetness and buttery crunch--they feel fancy without the fuss!
Ingredients you'll need:
-
- Joolies Organic Medjool Dates
- Medjool dates become even more caramel-like when warmed, adding amazing texture, moistness, and a boost of nutrients like potassium (3x that of a banana!), magnesium, fiber, Vitamin B's, etc! Whether you're team pitted or whole, both work equally as delicious and still give you all the amazing benefits of dates!
- Wedderspoon Manuka Honey
- This silky, smooth Manuka Honey caramelizes beautifully and keeps the date slices nestled in place as the puff pastry bakes. Its creamy texture deepens the flavor, highlighting those warm caramel and earthy notes. Each golden spoonful delivers a complex, creamy taste and a natural boost of living enzymes and antioxidants.
- Pre-Rolled Puff Pastry
- You'll find these in the freezer section with the dinner rolls or in the refrigerated section next to the tubes of cinnamon rolls, croissants, etc. If you are looking for a gluten-free option, our friends over at Sweet Loren's have a fabulous pre-rolled puff pastry!
- Egg
- We'll need one egg whisked with a tablespoon of water to make the egg wash. Brushing the egg wash over the puff pastry before baking helps give the tarts that gorgeous golden shine.
