CREMOSA TART DI FROLLA CIOCCOLATO & PERE”  in italiano

I don’t usually compliment myself too often, I let other to tell me if they liked my desserts, and I’m always very happy when this happes. But this time around, I’m sorry if I will not appear humble, I have to say this: this dessert is definitely one the best one ever that I have made, one of the best recipes I’ve developed.

Yes, I said it.

I wanted a simple Chocolate and Pear Tart, but very creamy and soft, not a dry one and not even the typical one. This is what I came up with, and there is no way you can skip making this one.

INGREDIENTS

20cm tart tin

Please note: if you are not familiar with taking a tart of its tin, use a tin with a removeable bottom, it will be much easier especially for this recipe in particular.
