Easy Chocolate Pear Tart Recipe: Rich, Fruity Dessert

• Preparation: 15 min
• Cooking: 30 min
• Complexity: Easy

Ingredients

• 1 shortcrust pastry
• 80 g baking chocolate
• 2 tablespoons of milk
• 70 g caster sugar
• 20 cl fresh cream
• 3 eggs
• 4 very ripe pears or 1 large can of pears in syrup
• Chocolate chips

Preparation

Line a pie pan with the shortcrust pastry.

Melt the chocolate in a bain-marie with the milk. Off the heat, add half the fresh cream and mix well. Pour this mixture over the pastry base.

Peel the pears and cut in half, then arrange them cut-side down on the chocolate mixture. For firmer pears, slice into thin strips.

Whisk together the eggs, caster sugar, and remaining fresh cream. Pour over the pears. Optionally, sprinkle with slivered almonds for extra crunch.

Bake for 30 minutes at 180°C (thermostat 6).

Remove from the oven and scatter chocolate chips on top—they'll melt slightly for a glossy finish.
