Recipe's Ingredients

  Quantities for people → Recalculate
  • 2 large pears
  • 1 tablespoon pear brandy
  • 180 g granulated sugar
  • 80 g soft butter
  • 50 g ground almonds
  • 40 g chocolate
  • 10 g butter
  • 25 g powdered sugar

  • Recipe preparation steps

  • 1
    Place the pears in a saucepan and cover with water. Add 100 grams of the granulated sugar and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and cook the pears until tender. When done, drain and refrigerate the pears until cool. Reserve the poaching liquid.
  • 2
    Cream the butter and remaining sugar together until light. Mix in the ground almonds and the brandy. Cut the pears crosswise into 3-mm thick slices. Carefully fold the pears into the almond mixture.
  • 3
    Place four 7-cm diameter by 3-cm high flan rings on a parchment-paper lined baking sheet. Line each ring with a 3-cm by 24-cm piece of parchment paper. Carefully spoon the pear mixture into the rings so the parchment lining is pushed against the sides. Level the tops and place the baking sheet in the refrigerator. Refrigerate overnight.
  • 4
    The next day, carefully remove the "cakes" from the flan rings and place each on a small, individual square of parchment paper on the baking sheet.
  • 5
    Place the chocolate and butter in the top of a double boiler and place over boiling water. Stir the chocolate and butter with a rubber spatula until melted and smooth. Stir in the powdered sugar and mix until smooth. Mix in 1-1/2 tablespoons the reserved pear poaching liquid. Continue mixing the chocolate mixture until smooth and glossy.
  • 6
    Using a soup spoon, place a spoonful of chocolate sauce on the top of each cake. Using the back of the spoon, spread the chocolate out across the top of each cake without spilling any over the sides. Complete each cake before moving to the next. Set the cakes aside in the refrigerator to harden the chocolate.
  • Ready !
