Time 1h10m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 shortcrust pastry crust
6 ½ ounces 70% dark chocolate, chopped
1 ½ cups ground almonds
2 eggs
½ cup superfine sugar
6 ½ tablespoons butter, softened
3 pears - peeled, cored, and quartered

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Roll pastry out to 1/4 inch thickness and use it to line a 9-inch tart dish. Prick the pastry with a fork and then place into the freezer for 20 minutes to prevent pastry from rising during baking.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Set crust aside. Reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
  • Heat a saucepan about 1/3-full of water to a low simmer, about 5 minutes, then reduce heat to lowest setting. Place a heat-proof bowl over the pan in such a way that it does not touch the water. Add chocolate to the bowl and allow to melt. Limit stirring to an absolute minimum to prevent chocolate from separating.
  • Mix ground almonds, eggs, sugar, and butter together in a bowl. Add warm melted chocolate and stir to combine. Pour chocolate mixture into the baked pastry crust.
  • Arrange pears on top of the tart by pressing them into the chocolate mixture.
  • Bake in the hot oven until pastry is golden and mixture is firm, 35 to 45 minutes.

PEAR AND CHOCOLATE TART

Categories     dessert

Time 1h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 cups water, approximately
Juice of 1 lemon
4 ripe pears
3/4 cup sugar
4 ounces bittersweet chocolate
3 tablespoons soft unsalted butter
2 large eggs
1/2 cup ground hazelnuts or almonds
3 tablespoons flour
1 9-inch tart shell, baked
1 cup heavy cream, whipped

Steps:

  • Place the water and lemon juice in a saucepan. Peel the pears, cut them in half and core them. As each is peeled and cored, place it in the saucepan, just covered with water.
  • Add one-half cup of the sugar, bring to a simmer and cook gently about 10 minutes, until the pears are just tender. Drain the pears and place them on several thicknesses of paper towel to continue draining.
  • Melt the chocolate over hot water or in a microwave oven. Beat in the butter a tablespoon at a time, then beat in the eggs.
  • Mix one-third cup of the hazelnuts or almonds with the flour and the remaining sugar and stir into the chocolate mixture.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Sprinkle the remaining hazelnuts or almonds over the bottom of the baked tart shell. Cut each pear half into four thick slices and arrange the slices close together in the tart shell. Spread the chocolate mixture over the pears.
  • Bake 30 minutes. Serve warm or cooled to room temperature with whipped cream on the side.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use ripe pears. If your pears are not ripe, you can ripen them by placing them in a paper bag at room temperature for a few days.
  • If you don't have a tart pan, you can use a regular pie plate. Just trim the edges of the pastry so that it fits inside the plate.
  • To prevent the chocolate ganache from cracking, make sure that the heavy cream is hot but not boiling when you add it to the chocolate.
  • If you want a more intense chocolate flavor, you can use dark chocolate instead of semi-sweet chocolate.
  • Serve the tart at room temperature or slightly chilled.

Conclusion:

This pear and chocolate tart is a delicious and elegant dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of sweet pears and rich chocolate is a classic flavor combination that is sure to please everyone. The tart is also relatively easy to make, making it a great option for home bakers of all skill levels.
