Today is my wedding anniversary so I decided to make a pesto risotto, but for dessert I didn’t want anything complicated. So I decided to improvise and Oh boy! I got lucky; I had frozen Puffy Pastry and peaches. So I sliced the peaches and cooked them with 2 tablespoons of caster sugar and 1 vanilla bean. Just to caramelize the peaches a bit, then I Cut the Puffy Pastry into squares and brushed with melted butter and placed the peach slices on top. Brushed with the rest of the sugar and vanilla syrup and baked at 350F…And voilaa!! If I only knew that it would be that easy. Frozen Puffy Pastry will be a regular in my freezer from now on. Right now my mind is racing at a thousand rounds per second thinking about all the variations I can make. If your’s too? Then feel free to share all your ideas with me. My tummy will be grateful. LOL

First of all, your photos are lovely!! Since I make my living as a photo stylist, I turn to frozen puff pastry sheets constantly as a quick fix to my propping needs. My favorite flavor combo so far is lemon tree plum with grape jelly. Here is a link:

Mmm, the combination of peaches and vanilla sounds so comforting and soothing to me… What a perfect thing to have for an anniversary with someone who is likely also comforting too.

I loves these pretty phyllo or puff pastry tarts… and I bet that bit of caramelization just took the flavour to the next level.

I really like this idea for a simple peach tart. I love the pictures, so appealing and delicious looking for a perfect summer dessert, thanks for sharing.
There’s half a pack of phyllo dough in the fridge. Any dessert recipe with just 4 or 5 ingredients must be made asap!
