This easy dessert is ready in less than 30 minutes. Include these in your holiday buffet and wow your guests.
- One pear creates two servings
- Rinse the pears and dry with a kitchen towel. Cut them in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. A melon baller works great here.
- Roll out a sheet of puff pastry. Depending on the size of your pears you should be able to get 4-5 halves per sheet. I use ready-rolled puff pastry. It is pretty handy and saves time
- Fill the pears with something chocolate and place them onto the pastry sheets. Make sure there is enough space in between them. Cut out the pears using a knife, leaving about a half inch of pastry around the fruit. Save the extra for the ‘leaves’.
Suggested Fillings
- Lindor Chocolate Truffle
- Chocolate Christmas Ball
- Piece of Chocolate Covered Fruit from the Fruit Company
- Nutella
- Arrange the pears on the baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- Attach “leaves” cut out from the leftover puff pastry.
- Slice the pears lengthwise and brush on a bit of lemon juice. Sprinkle with icing sugar
- Brush the exposed pastry with beaten egg yolk and bake for 10-15 minutes, until pastry is a golden brown.
