Step-by-Step Instructions for White Peach Mascarpone Tart
- In a saucepan over medium heat, combine 1 cup whole milk and 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste, bringing it to a simmer.
- Whisk together ¼ cup sugar, 1 tablespoon cornstarch, ⅛ teaspoon salt, and 2 egg yolks in a bowl.
- Gradually add the simmering milk to the egg mixture, then return to the saucepan.
- Cook on low heat, whisking constantly until thickened, around 5 minutes.
- Remove from heat, stir in 1 tablespoon butter, cool in an ice bath, then refrigerate.
- In another saucepan, whisk together ½ cup sugar, ¼ cup Chardonnay, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 tablespoon orange blossom honey, and juice from half a lemon.
- Bring to a gentle simmer, then add peeled and halved peaches, poaching for about 8 minutes until tender.
- Once cooked, remove the peaches, let them cool in the poaching liquid.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C). Roll out 1 sheet of puff pastry, transfer to a tart pan, and prick the bottom.
- Place parchment over the dough and fill it with pie weights. Bake for 20–25 minutes until golden.
- Once baked, let the pastry cool before filling.
- Combine chilled pastry cream with 4 ounces mascarpone and ¼ cup heavy cream in a mixing bowl.
- Whisk until soft peaks form, about 3-4 minutes.
- Gently fold the mascarpone mixture until creamy and smooth.
- Pour the whipped mascarpone mixture into the cooled pastry shell.
- Drizzle reserved poaching liquid over the filling, arrange poached peach halves on top, and sprinkle with raspberries.
