Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar packed
  • 1/2 cup corn syrup
  • ¼ cup heavy cream
  • 2 large egg whisked
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups walnuts roughly chopped
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 package frozen puff pastry sheets thawed

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F. Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line it with baking cups. 
  • In a saucepan over medium heat, melt 1/4 cup (4 tablespoons) of unsalted butter. Stir in the brown sugar, corn syrup, heavy cream, one egg, vanilla extract, walnuts, and salt. Cook for a few minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens slightly. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

  • Roll out the thawed puff pastry sheets and cut them into 6 equal rectangles. Gently press each piece into the muffin tin, creating small cups.
    1 package frozen puff pastry sheets
  • Spoon about ¼ cup of the walnut filling into each puff pastry cup and brush the edges with the whisked egg.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the filling is bubbly and the puff pastry is golden brown. Monitor closely to prevent over-browning.
  • Let the tarts cool in the muffin tin for about 5 minutes, then carefully transfer them to a wire rack to finish cooling. Serve warm or at room temperature.
