Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- ½ cup white sugar
- 2 tablespoons white sugar
- 1 cup blanched almond flour
- 2 eggs
- 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
- 4 ounces milk chocolate, chopped
- 3 pears – peeled, cored and sliced
Instructions
- Line a tart pan with parchment paper. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Combine butter and 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar in a large bowl; beat using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Mix in almond flour. Add eggs 1 at a time and mix until well combined.
- Line a tart pan with the puff pastry and prick with a fork all over.
- Place chocolate in the top of a double boiler over simmering water. Stir frequently, scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching, until melted, about 5 minutes. Cool slightly. Cover puff pastry with melted chocolate.
- Carefully pour egg mixture on top of the chocolate on the puff pastry without mixing the 2 layers. Arrange pear slices on top of the tart.
- Bake in the preheated oven until pastry has puffed up and is golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes.
