Chocolate and pear tart

 "LOVE THIS! I made this on Christmas Eve for a family dinner at my cousin's house. They said I wouldn't get to come back next year if I don't bring this dessert! I substituted the pears for fresh raspberries which was decadent and fabulous! This one is definately going in the recipe book. Only "complaint" was that it does not tell you in the recipe how many eggs, and in the instructions it states "mix in the eggs" I added 2 and it seemed just right. " - Seattlescot

Chocolate and pear tart (Jamie Oliver) Preparation

Preheat the oven to 190 degrees. Roll out the pastry until ½cm thick and use it to line a 24cm tart tin. Leave in the freezer to rest for at least 20 minutes.

Bake the pastry blind for around 10 minutes in the preheated oven, then remove, set aside, and reduce the oven temperature to 170 degrees.

Mix almonds, eggs, butter and sugar together and stir in the melted chocolate while it’s still warm. Pour the mixture evenly into the pastry case and then press the pears into the chocolate and almond mixture.

Bake the tart for 45 minutes until the pastry is golden brown and the chocolate and almond mixture is firm.

Serve warm with crème fraîche.

    I used 2 eggs and added some extra chocolate. Also used forest fruits rather than pears, the sharpness of the berries works very well with this very sweet recipe. All of my family gave very good reviews, although you don't need very big portions as it's very rich. Will definitely be making it again.
