Gluten Free Pear And Mascarpone Galette Recipes

GLUTEN-FREE PEAR AND MASCARPONE GALETTE

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven to 375°.
• On a sheet of parchment paper, roll out pie crust into a circle about 12" wide.
• Leaving a 2" border on all sides, spread mascarpone evenly over the pie crust.
• Cut pears into thin slices, removing and discarding the core. If pears have a thick, tougher skin, pare and discard the skin as well. If using thin-skinned pears (like Bartlett), I like to make this galette with the skins left on.
• Arrange pears evenly over the mascarpone.
• Drizzle honey over the mascarpone and pear slices, then sprinkle with almond slices and cardamom.
• Working your way around the circle, bring bare edges of pie crust up to just overlap the edge of the mascarpone and pear slices. Using the parchment paper to help lift each section of pie crust can really help keep a delicate crust from breaking as you're doing this.
• Using the parchment paper, slide the galette onto a rimmed baking sheet (or pizza stone), and bake until pears are soft and pie crust is golden brown - about 35 minutes.
• Let cool slightly and enjoy!

PEAR GALETTE WITH MASCARPONE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Combine ricotta cheese, mascarpone cheese, confectioners' sugar, and vanilla extract in a bowl. Place in the refrigerator.
• Place pears, cornstarch, lemon juice, brown sugar, cloves, and cinnamon into a bowl; mix well.
• Place thawed puff pastry sheet into the bottom of an 11-inch tart pan. Spoon cheese mixture onto pastry and spread evenly. Arrange spiced pear mixture on top of the cheese mixture.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 45 minutes.

HONEY-POACHED PEARS WITH MASCARPONE

Steps:

• Toss pears with lemon juice in large bowl. Set aside. Combine 1 cup water, wine and honey in medium saucepan. Scrape in seeds from vanilla bean; add bean. Stir over medium heat until honey dissolves. Add pears. Cover mixture with round piece of parchment paper. Reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer until pears are just tender when pierced, turning when half-way through cooking, about 15 minutes.
• Using slotted spoon, transfer pears to large bowl. Boil poaching liquid until reduced to 3/4 cup, about 2 minutes. Cool syrup. Pour syrup over pears. Cover and refrigerate until cold, at least 8 hours or overnight. Remove vanilla bean.
• Whisk mascarpone cheese, sugar and brandy in large bowl until smooth. Add 1/4 cup chilled poaching syrup and whisk until soft peaks form.
• Thinly slice each pear half lengthwise, leaving slices attached at stem end. Using metal spatula, transfer pears to plates. Gently press on pears to fan slightly. Spoon some syrup over pears. Spoon mascarpone cream alongside each pear half and serve.
