Ingredients (6)
- 1 frozen puff pastry sheet, thawed
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 2 small oranges
- 100g raw sugar
- 1/2 cup (160g) lemon curd
- 1/4 cup (65g) mascarpone cheese
Method
-
1.Preheat oven to 220°C. Roll out pastry on a lightly floured surface until 2-3mm thick and large enough to cut out a 22cm-diameter circle. Place on a baking paper-lined baking tray, prick base with a fork. Chill for 15 minutes.
-
2.Remove from fridge, brush with egg and bake for 10 minutes or until light golden. Cover with another tray to flatten base and cook for a further 5 minutes, then cool.
-
3.Meanwhile, zest 1 orange, reserving zest, then peel other orange. Remove pith from both, slice flesh thinly into rounds and toss slices with 1 tablespoon sugar. Combine lemon curd and mascarpone in a bowl.
-
4.To make candied orange zest, dissolve remaining 80g sugar with 1/3 cup (80ml) water in a small saucepan over medium heat.
-
5.Add reserved zest and simmer over medium heat for 10 minutes or until zest becomes glossy and liquid is syrupy. Strain and spread zest out on baking paper to dry.
-
6.Just before serving, spread cooled base with lemon butter mixture, then top with overlapping orange slices. Scatter with candied orange zest and serve.
