The pear and chocolate tart is the recipe for one of the most popular French and Italian desserts of all time: the crumbly pastry base is filled with a dark chocolate filling and finally garnished with lots of pear slices.
Preparing it at home is easier than you might think: after preparing the dough with egg yolks, cold butter, sugar and flour, let it rest in the fridge; in the meantime, you can take care of the chocolate ganache , which is made with dark chocolate, cream, sugar and egg, cooled to room temperature and then poured into the shortcrust pastry shell.
The pears , which must be ripe but firm, are arranged in a radial pattern on the chocolate filling to create an elegant and impressive final result .
The pear and chocolate cake is the perfect dessert to finish a meal , at dinner with guests or during the day for a tasty break , perhaps accompanied by a coffee or a cup of vanilla tea.
If you love the extra dark taste , we recommend using chocolate with a cocoa content of around 70–80 percent. For a sweeter and softer taste, you can opt for a lower cocoa content of around 50 percent.
To make the cake even tastier, we added a pinch of sugar on the surface before baking; if you want, you can add chopped hazelnuts or flaked almonds to give the dessert a pleasant crunchy touch. Find out how to prepare it by following the step-by-step instructions and advice.
