How to Make Easy Chocolate Filled Pear Tarts
- Preheat oven to 220°C (425°F).
- If using a full sheet of puff pastry, roll it out to a 20cm x 20cm square. Alternatively, use one defrosted pre-rolled puff pastry sheet.
- Cut the pastry sheet into four equal squares.
- Place 1 tablespoon of chopped dark chocolate in the center of each square.
- Top each square with one pear half, cut-side down, pressing gently to adhere.
- Whisk 1 large egg or 2 tablespoons of milk in a small bowl. Brush the egg wash over the pears.
- Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of demerara sugar (optional) for extra crunch.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed up.
- Let cool slightly before serving.
- Serve warm with whipped cream and/or 2 tablespoons of custard thinned with 1 tablespoon of pear juice from the can.
- For a variation, use canned peach halves and white chocolate instead of dark chocolate and pears.
