Ingredients list for the chocolate tart

• 3 2/3 cups (360g) plain flour, sifted, plus extra to dust
• 2/3 cup (50g) almond powder
• 6 1/3 ounces (180g) cold unsalted butter, chopped and at room temperature
• 3/4 cup (140g) caster sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 pinch of salt

Pears

• 3 pears, peeled, halved and cored
• 1/3 cup (100g) honey

The chocolate filling

• 1/4 cup (65ml) whole milk
• 1/2 cup (125ml) liquid cream
• 1/2 vanilla pod
• 2 tablespoons (25g) caster sugar
• 1/4 cup (40g) dark chocolate, chopped
• 1 large egg

Directions

1. In a large bowl, whisk butter, salt, caster sugar, almond powder, egg, and (90g) flour. When the mixture is smooth, add the remaining (270g) of flour and quickly form a ball. Wrap in plastic and chill for one hour.

2. Preheat your oven to 320°F (160°C). Roll out the pastry to 1/4 inch (5-6 mm) thick, then line a 10-inch (26cm) round tart pan. Make small cutouts with the trimmings for decoration. Blind bake for 20 minutes, until golden. Set the tart shell aside to cool and keep your oven at 320°F (160°C) for the final step.

3. Heat honey in a saucepan and allow it to caramelize slightly. Slice each pear half into thin slices, coat in honey, and cook for 2-3 minutes. Drain from the liquid honey and set aside.

4. In a large saucepan, combine milk and cream. Scrape the vanilla pod into the milk and cream, then bring to a simmer. Let cool, then stir in the sugar, chopped chocolate, and egg. Mix well and set aside.

5. Arrange pear slices into the baked tart shell. Pour the chocolate custard into the tart shell, starting from the center. Bake for 15 minutes, or until the custard is set. Remove from the oven, allow to cool for a couple of minutes, then refrigerate for at least one hour before serving. Don’t forget to top with the small pastry cutouts. Enjoy! ♡
