| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Roll out the thawed puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface to make a 10-inch square. |
| 2 | Brush the surface of the pastry evenly with 2 tablespoons of the kumquat jam. |
| 3 | Preheat the oven to 425ยฐF (220ยฐC). |
| 4 | Bake the pastry on the lowest rack of the oven until it’s well browned, about 12-15 minutes. |

| 7 | Spread the ginger cream mixture evenly over the baked puff pastry. |
| 8 | Arrange the sliced kumquats on top of the ginger cream mixture, overlapping them slightly. |
| 9 | In a small saucepan, melt the remaining kumquat jam over low heat. |
| 10 | Remove the saucepan from the heat and whisk in the liqueur, if using. |
| 11 | Gently brush the liqueur-infused jam mixture onto the sliced kumquats. |
| 12 | Cut the tart into triangles and serve immediately, or chill it in the refrigerator for up to 1 hour before serving. |
Tips:
- Ensure the puff pastry is fully thawed before rolling it out to prevent it from cracking.
- Feel free to substitute the liqueur with orange juice for a non-alcoholic version of the recipe.
- For added crunch, sprinkle some toasted sliced almonds over the tart before serving.
