- 1 bar of Praline Chocolate (Poulain)
- 1 block of puff pastry
- 3 pears (ripe)

- 100g of butter
- 100g of ground almond

How to bake it!

- Preheat the oven at 220°C

- Line a tart pan with the puff pastry and pierce it with a fork.
- Peal the pears, deseed them and cut them into slivers.
- Melt the chocolate in a pan or in the microwave with a bit of milk and cover the puff pastry with it.
- Pour the almond mixture over it and then arrange the pears nicely on the top of the tart.
- Bake for about 30min (until the bottom of the tart is cooked. Be careful not to overcook it).

Tips and Tricks

- If you melt the chocolate using a microwave, make sure to use milk and stir the chocolate quite often so as to obtain a smooth mixture.
- The tart is nice served either cold or warmed slightly if you fancy a melting soft tart.
