Recipe

Preparation Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 35 mins Ready Time: 1 hr


• preheat oven to 375 degrees f (190 degrees c).
• heat an oven-proof skillet over medium heat. sprinkle white sugar evenly into the bottom of the skillet; cook until sugar melts and turns golden brown, about 1 minute. reduce heat to low and stir butter into sugar. stir cinnamon into butter mixture and remove from heat.
• dip each plantain slice into butter mixture to coat on both sides. arrange coated plantains in a shingled pattern to cover the bottom of the skillet.
• spread puff pastry sheet over plantains, tucking corners into the skillet.
• bake in the preheated oven until puff pastry is golden brown, 30 to 35 minutes. remove from oven and cool briefly. place a serving plate upside-down over the top of the skillet; flip the skillet to remove tarte tatin from the pan.
• whisk mascarpone cheese and confectioners' sugar together in a bowl until smooth. spread a large dollop of mascarpone mixture over the top of the plantains. serve with remaining mascarpone mixture on the side.
