Cuisine: French
Yield: 8
Ingredients:
4eggs at room temperature
200gchocolate pastry
130gunsalted butter
2tsp bitter cocoa powder
100galmond meal
1/4this salt
80glight brown sugar
3rather ripe pears
A handful of slivered almonds for decoration
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 180 ° traditional heat. Separate the whites from the yolks. Melt chocolate and butter (microwave or double boiler). Let cool a little and incorporate the yolks one by one, mixing well between each.
Separately, mix the dry ingredients: ground almonds, cocoa, salt. Pour the melted chocolate into the dry ingredients and mix to obtain a homogeneous paste.
Beat the egg whites with the sugar until they stick together. Then incorporate them several times into the chocolate dough using a spatula so as not to "break" the whites.
Rinse the pears. At this point you can either keep the skin of the pears like me or remove it, it's up to you! Then cut them in half, hollow them out, slice them finely, tightly squeezing the slices of the same pear.
Butter and flour a 25cm springform pan (easier for unmoulding) or a classic mold (with baking paper in the bottom). Pour the dough then gently place the pears on top. Sprinkle with flaked almonds and bake for 35 minutes (to be adapted according to your oven), check the doneness using a wooden pick. Let cool and unmold (note: it will cut better if placed in the refrigerator for 30 minutes).
