Ingredients




Pasta Folla, look to previous recipe
Instead of using this crust, you can also use a puff pastry dough. Be sure to slit holes in the dough to
4 large pears cored, seeded, and sliced
Candied Orange slices
1 cup chocolate
Flour
Sugar

Preparation

1 In a bowl, place the pears, chopped orange slices, a handful of sugar in a bowl. Mix together. 2 Add a couple pinches of flour to the pears. This helps soak up the moisture in the pastry when baking. 3 Roll out the Pasta Frolla into a pie dish. 4 In the bottom of the pastry add the chocolate. Spread around evenly. On top of the chocolate, add the pear mixture. 5 Close the crust with another layer of the pasta frolla. Pinch the corner to seal the two together. 6 Use the leftover pasta to make designs to place on top of the crust. 7 Bake in the oven at 350 degrees until golden brown. Watch carefully because the crust can easily burn!
