Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Puff pastry sheets
- 2 pieces Fresh pears
- 100 grams Dark chocolate
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon All-purpose flour
- 1 piece Egg
- 1 tablespoon Water
- 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Lightly dust your work surface with flour and roll out the puff pastry sheets to smooth out any creases.
Cut each puff pastry sheet into quarters, resulting in 8 squares total.
Peel the pears, remove the cores, and dice them into small, bite-sized pieces.
In a small bowl, toss the diced pears with granulated sugar to enhance their natural sweetness.
Chop the dark chocolate into small chunks or use chocolate chips for easier preparation.
Place a spoonful of the diced pears and a few pieces of chocolate into the center of each puff pastry square.
Fold each puff pastry square over the filling to form a triangle, and press the edges together firmly to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative touch.
Beat the egg with 1 tablespoon of water to create an egg wash. Brush the surface of each tart with the egg wash to achieve a golden finish during baking.
Transfer the tarts to the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly to allow for expansion.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and puffed.
Remove the tarts from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack.
Dust the cooled tarts lightly with powdered sugar for a finishing touch before serving.
Serve warm or at room temperature as a delightful dessert or sweet snack.
