What are the benefits of eating cherries?

Cherries are high in antioxidants which may reduce the risk of some cancers and heart disease. They have a low glycemic index and contain more fiber per gram than any other fruit. They help regulate insomnia and improve the quality of sleep. Cherries are rich in dietary fiber to help you feel fuller for more extended periods and avoid overeating.

What is a pastry ring?

A pastry ring is a baking tool used to shape pastry and hold it together during baking or assembly. Pastry rings come in four different shapes: round, oval, square, and triangular. The height of pastry rings varies from 0.75-inch/about 2 cm to 1.75-inch/4.5 cm and higher.

What's the difference between perforated and non-perforated pastry rings?

Unlike non-perforated pastry rings, perforated rings ensure the perfect heat conduction for the pastry, resulting in golden edges and crisp crusts.

How to make a pastry ring yourself?

To make a pastry ring, you need to cut a strip of cardboard of a length necessary for your preparation and a width of approximately 2-inch/5 cm. Then adjust it with a metal paper clip to get a circle. Next, cover your cardboard ring u003ca href=u0022https://cuisine.journaldesfemmes.fr/recette-papilloteu0022 target=u0022_blanku0022 rel=u0022noreferrer noopeneru0022u003ewith aluminum foilu003c/au003e to strengthen it. When your preparation is liquid, you can create a bottom of the ring with aluminum foil to avoid leaks. Finally, when your pastry is baked, all you have to do is cut out the cardboard circle with a pair of scissors.

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 380 degrees F/190 degrees C. Butter a sheet of parchment paper and sprinkle it with brown sugar. Place an oval pastry ring (see note #1) on parchment.
Using a rolling pin, roll the thawed still cold puff pastry to 1/5-inch/5 mm thick. Using hands, bring the pastry over the pastry ring. Gently press it into the mold. Cut off any excess pastry with a sharp knife. Prick the bottom with a fork. Refrigerate while making the filling cream.
To make the filling, mix eggs, cream, ground almonds, sugar, and lemon juice in a mixing bowl. Pour the preparation on the tart shell and divide the pitted cherries over it. Sprinkle with slivered almonds. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes. Let it cool, remove the tart from the ring/mold, and cut it into pieces.
Serve it plain or sprinkled with icing sugar. Or accompany it with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes

Use one of the authentic pastry rings (perforated or non-perforated) 0.75-inch/about 2 cm high, or make it yourself (the instruction is in the FAQ section of the post). This oval pastry ring equals 8-inch/20 cm round pastry ring.
Make sure that the puff pastry is thawed but cold. If it becomes warm and soft, bring it to the freezer for 5 minutes.
Use a rolling pin to roll the puff pastry out: don't stretch the dough.
Replace fresh cherries with the frozen ones: don't thaw them.
