Dried plum pear tart and cream, scented with candied orange zest. A dessert that tastes like winter, christmas and good things, enclosed within a PASTA BRISÉE (watch the recipe video) tender and sunk in a soft cooked cream. This is one of my favorite winter tarts, especially because it's really easy to do. The difficulty is close to zero: for the base you have to just mix all the ingredients together, It rests over the fruit and pours an egg cream and butter for finishing. Then in the oven and you'll hear what perfume. I suggest you use a soft and rather mature type of pear, so that cooks perfectly while remaining firm.
On the other hand, the RECIPES OF PIES, whichever way they're prepared, they're always successful: from the simple CHOCOLATE AND CHEESE TART sicilian style up to the more creative ones such as the WHITE CHOCOLATE TART, LEMON AND PISTACHIO or the sumptuous TART COVERED WITH PEARS AND CHOCOLATE. If you like you can accompany the plum and cream pear tart with the classic vanilla ice cream, but I prefer a good cup of grappa and a little’ of sound meditation.
If you love the peres, a sweet and versatile fruit, have a look at all my RECIPES WITH PEARS and above all don't miss the PEARS COOKED AND SPICED WITH RED WINE. An extremely elegant delight to bring to the table. And now I wish you good day.

PROCEEDINGS
FOR dough crust (look at the VIDEO RECIPE ON MY YOUTUBE CHANNEL) You can prepare it the day before, mix all ingredients together by hand or in a food processor using the hook-leaved, working with your fingertips until the dough is smooth and no lumps. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest in the refrigerator for 2 hours or more.
Peel the pears, cut them in half and then divide each half into 4 pieces. Cut in half the plums already mingled in hot water (you can also add a teaspoon of liquor) and well squeezed.
FOR CREAM: put all the ingredients in a bowl and blend the mixture until the mixture is liquid and homogeneous.
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees static. Grease and flour a cake mold of 20-24 cm in diameter, cover it with the shortcrust pastry and prick the bottom and sides of the pie with the prongs of a fork. Have the bottom fan pears and plums (or as I did in the photo or as Favorites), then pour over the egg mixture and cream. Bake for 40 minutes or until the pie is golden brown not. Then cool the cake and sprinkle with icing sugar before serving. Bon appétit!
THE PAIRING: Moscato Passito Villa Monticelli, farm house Barberani, of Orvieto. A wine with delicate aromas of Apricot and peaches, with a soft and warm, from the elegant citrus acidity, with a slightly bitter aftertaste reminiscent of Sicilian almonds.

Hi Ada sorry.. I didn't get pasta.. She was very soft. I got something wrong. Or I got the doubt that the amount of milk was 20 ml and not 20 cl?
Thank you if you have time to answer me!
Paola
Eh no, you have to apologize to me, because obviously milk is 20 milliliters, one or two tablespoons depending on how much the dough takes. I'm the one who got it wrong., the recipe is a long time ago and I should have seen it again. Forgive me, i owe you a dough. Try again because the dessert is really yummy. Excuse me again. ADA
Hi Ada,tomorrow I try other recipes (I'm a fan “secret”). Can I prepare it in the morning for the evening or better serve hot?
Hi Valentina, Meanwhile, thanks for the appreciation. This tart is delicious warm. However, you can make it in advance and then Preheat oven to 200° e, When it reaches the temperature, switch off and put inside the tart for 3-4 minutes. You'll be fine. Let me know and lots of good wishes for the coming year. ADA

Uhm.
I didn't understand a thing…., I can peel the pears and plums I…All right.
Then write : For cream put all ingredients in a bowl and blend the mixture until the mixture is liquid and homogeneous.
ER. what ingredients? Those who advance? that is, reading the ingredients. all those who advance from candied orange peel?
Scusa la domanda ma non ho capito bene 🙁
Hello Simona, of course she jumped a sentence, Thanks for letting me know: Yes for the cream you use all ingredients after the candies (just processing them), and did the phrase ' for cream '. Now you should understand. Will you let me know? ADA
in fact I had been thinking the same thing ... my choice and’ been to put candied oranges do not blend but dice and sprinkle pears and plums before pouring the cream.
Really special and delicious even if made the day before!
Thanks Ivana! And it is one of my favorite winter pies, with the fusion of flavours spiced who knows so much about fireplace!
