Extra pastry dough is a great thing to have around the house. Especially when Victor is in the kitchen!
We had a mere two pears in the house but he made do with a filling that really worked well! We had chocolate bars and a jar of the chocolate hazelnut spread I made a while back. Perfect filling for a pear topping!
Nutella Pear Tart
- 1 pastry crust
- 2 pears, sliced wafer-thin
- 8 oz dark chocolate, melted
- 1/2 cup nutella
- 1/4 cup coffee
Roll out dough and place in tart pan. Bake at 350° about 30 minutes or until golden brown.
Meanwhile, melt chocolate. Stir in nutella and then add about 1/4 cup coffee. Mix well. Chocolate may appear to seize.
Spread evenly in warm tart shell. Cover with thin-sliced pears. Brush with fruit jam glaze.
Heavenly.
