Ingredients
- Pears: I like to use Bosc pears because of their sweetness but you could use Anjou pears too. Slice lengthwise, then with a spoon remove the core, cut in thin slices.
- Miso: White miso is the best for this recipe, because of its light and slightly sweet flavor.
- Puff Pastry: I like using butter based store bought pastries like Dufour
- Brown Sugar: Sprinkle some sugar on the borders for extra texture. I like using demarara or turbinado sugar for texture. This is optional.

Instructions
2. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the defrosted puff pastry with a rolling pin and cut into squares or rectangles (you decide what shape you want!) then place on a parchment lined rimmed baking sheet.
3. Using a knife, draw a border for each tart. Poke each tart with a fork. Then brush the borders with egg mixture and top with sugar if you're using it. Brush each tart with a thin layer of the maple miso caramel.
4. Add the sliced pears, and brush again with the caramel. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the edges are golden brown.
5. Remove from oven and top with more miso caramel.
6. Top with mint, sliced almonds, a sprinkle of cinnamon and flaky sea salt. Serve with cinnamon whipped cream.
To Make The Maple Cinnamon Whipped Cream
1. Add 1 cup heavy cream, 3 tablespoons of maple syrup, ¼ teaspoon of cinnamon in a bowl. Using a whisk or hand mixer, mix until you have stiff peaks.
2. Serve with your tarts and sprinkle a little more cinnamon on your whipped cream.
