Pear and Chocolate Tart image

My version of a recipe found on a free supermarket recipe card! It's chocolaty, juicy, and scrumptious. The tart is best served warm with creme fraiche.

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.
