Easy Pear Tart Recipe with Biscoff

Seasonal fruit and puff pastry are the perfect ingredients for making delicious, easy tarts. This simple pear pie recipe is proof of that! Adding Biscoff spread makes them completely irresistible.

Why I Love These Pear Tarts

I’m a big fan of these quick pear tarts! They’re the perfect pastry to serve with coffee and are also delicious as a dessert. You can make them in less than 15 minutes, then pop them in the oven.

It’s handy if you have unexpected visitors, and chances are you already have all the ingredients at home. For dessert, serve them with a scoop of ice cream or some whipped cream to make them even more special. But, to be honest, they’re just as delicious on their own.

Recipe Ingredients

• Pears – for this recipe, don’t use ripe pears as they will become too soft in the oven. You can also turn these into apple pies if you prefer.
• Puff pastry – for this easy pear pie recipe, I use ready-made puff pastry, but of course, if you want, you can make your own puff pastry too.
• Biscoff – now this is totally optional, but it works so well with the pears!

And other than an egg and some cinnamon, that is all you need for making these super easy pear pies.

How To Make The Pear Pie Recipe

Making these easy pies is quick too. I’ve used frozen puff pastry slices that come in squares. You will need to defrost them before you can use it.

If you can only find fresh puff pastry that is perfectly fine to use too. In that case slice it into the desired shape.

Make sure to leave about half an inch of space on the borders of the slices and spread a generous amount of Biscoff spread on the bottom of the puff pastry. On top of that you add the fresh pears.

I sprinkled a bit of cinnamon on top but you can also use other warm spices like ginger or cardamom for a different flavor.

​Next bake the pear tarts in the oven until golden brown.

Storing pear tarts

I prefer to serve these tarts immediately after they come out of the oven. They’re warm and taste incredibly delicious, and there’s nothing better than crispy puff pastry.

How long do pear tarts keep?

Like most sweet puff pastry cakes, you can store them in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat the tarts in the oven at 180°C/350°F (conventional oven) for about 5 minutes to make the puff pastry crispy again.

Can you freeze pear tarts?

I haven’t tried freezing these specific tarts, but it is possible. Allow the tarts to cool completely after baking, then freeze them in an airtight container. They will keep for up to three months this way.

After thawing, reheat them in the oven as described above. Fresh puff pastry (not from the freezer) can also be frozen unbaked. You can freeze the pear tarts unbaked and bake them fresh, which is always my preference.
