Chocolate pears in pastry shell
author: Paolo
20 minutes
1 serving
  • 1 big pear or 3-4 small pears, seeded, peeled and chopped
  • 3-4 little squares plain chocolate, chopped
  • Veggie margarine
  • 4 slices tin loaf, crust removed

This little pears came from a relative’s tree. Their sourness wasn’t so good in this recipe. Better if you choose the classical, medium-sized pear with the brown skin (the Kaiser).
Put the pear and a little bit of margarine into a frying pan. Cook for about 4-5 minutes and add the chocolate squares.
Place the slices of tin loaf into a greased pudding mould, covering all its surface. Add the pears and cover with another slice of loaf.
Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C (400° F/Gas Mark 6) until golden brown. Serve warm.
