Chocolate Tarte with Pears
Chocolate Tarte with Pears is a delectable dessert that combines rich, indulgent chocolate with the sweet and juicy flavor of pears. It typically consists of a crispy chocolate crust filled with a smooth and creamy chocolate ganache, and topped with fresh, thinly sliced pears.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups chocolate cookies crushed, (such as chocolate wafers or chocolate graham crackers)
- 6 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chopped
- 2 ripe pears thinly sliced
Optional for serving:
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease a 9-inch tart pan with removable bottom.
- In a bowl, mix the crushed chocolate cookies and melted butter until well combined. Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of the tart pan to form the crust.
- Bake the crust in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes, or until it becomes firm. Remove it from the oven and let it cool completely.
- In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it begins to simmer. Remove from heat, then add the chopped semi-sweet chocolate to the warm cream. Let it sit for a minute, then stir until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Pour the chocolate ganache into the cooled crust, spreading it evenly. Place the tart in the refrigerator to chill for about 2 hours, or until the ganache is set.
- Once the ganache is set, arrange the thinly sliced pears on top of the tart in an attractive pattern.
- If desired, lightly dust the top of the tart with powdered sugar or serve with a dollop of whipped cream.
- Slice and serve. Enjoy!
