Time 3h

Number Of Ingredients 11

8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature, plus more for pan
1 cup whole blanched almonds
3/4 cup sugar
3 large eggs
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon almond extract (optional)
3 firm, ripe Bartlett pears
1/2 lemon
2 tablespoons apple jelly

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Brush a 9-inch removable-bottom tart pan with butter; set aside.
  • In a food processor, combine almonds and sugar; process until very finely ground. Add butter, eggs, cocoa, vanilla, salt, and almond extract, if using; process until combined. Spread mixture evenly in prepared pan.
  • Peel, halve, and core pears; cut lengthwise into 1/4-inch-thick slices, rubbing them with lemon as you work (to prevent discoloration). Arrange slices on chocolate mixture, slightly overlapping, without pressing in.
  • Place pan on a baking sheet; bake until top is puffed and a toothpick inserted in center of chocolate mixture comes out with only a few moist crumbs attached, 45 to 50 minutes. Cool completely in pan.
  • Briefly heat jelly in the microwave or on the stove until liquefied. Gently brush pears with jelly; let set, at least 20 minutes. Remove tart from pan, and serve.

This tart was a bit too rich for my taste. The chocolate ganache was very heavy and the pears were very sweet. I think I would have liked it better if the ganache was a bit lighter and the pears were less sweet.

I'm not a big fan of chocolate and pears together, but this tart was surprisingly good. The flavors were well-balanced and the crust was flaky and delicious.

This tart was a disappointment. The crust was soggy and the filling was bland. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

This tart was a bit too sweet for my taste. The chocolate ganache was rich and decadent, but the pears were very sugary. I think I would have liked it better if the pears were less sweet or if the ganache was a bit less rich.

I've made this tart several times now and it's always a hit. The pears and chocolate are a perfect combination and the crust is flaky and delicious. I love that it's not too sweet, so you can really taste the flavors of the fruit and chocolate.

This chocolate pear tart was absolutely divine! The combination of the rich chocolate ganache and the sweet, juicy pears was simply heavenly. The crust was flaky and buttery, and the filling was smooth and creamy. I highly recommend this recipe to an
