Ingredients

• 2 pieces Puff pastry sheets
• 2 pieces Fresh pears
• 100 grams Dark chocolate
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon All-purpose flour
• 1 piece Egg
• 1 tablespoon Water
• 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Lightly dust your work surface with flour and roll out the puff pastry sheets to smooth out any creases.

Step 3

Cut each puff pastry sheet into quarters, resulting in 8 squares total.

Step 4

Peel the pears, remove the cores, and dice them into small, bite-sized pieces.

Step 5

In a small bowl, toss the diced pears with granulated sugar to enhance their natural sweetness.

Step 6

Chop the dark chocolate into small chunks or use chocolate chips for easier preparation.

Step 7

Place a spoonful of the diced pears and a few pieces of chocolate into the center of each puff pastry square.

Step 8

Fold each puff pastry square over the filling to form a triangle, and press the edges together firmly to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative touch.

Step 9

Beat the egg with 1 tablespoon of water to create an egg wash. Brush the surface of each tart with the egg wash to achieve a golden finish during baking.

Step 10

Transfer the tarts to the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly to allow for expansion.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and puffed.

Step 12

Remove the tarts from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack.

Step 13

Dust the cooled tarts lightly with powdered sugar for a finishing touch before serving.

Step 14

Serve warm or at room temperature as a delightful dessert or sweet snack.
