Anna’s Kitchen, the fortnightly column on Food Factor, Daily Mirror has decided to spread its flavours to www.life.lk as well.
This week’s recipe includes a usually forgotten fruit where desserts are concerned and that is the pear. Combining it with flavours like chocolate and almond give you a simple yet rich dessert which is ideal to serve at dinner parties. Other than slicing the pears, everything else is simply popped in a food processor and blitzed a couple of times so prep time is also minimal for a dessert that looks as well as tastes great.
Chocolate Almond Pear Tart
Ingredients
cup finely ground almonds
100g butter
¾ cup sugar
3 eggs
1 tin peach halves
½ cup cocoa powder
1 tsp each of vanilla and almond essence
Method
1. Grease a 9 inch removable bottom tart pan with butter and leave aside. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Drain and slice each peach half into six and set aside.
2. Pop your ground almonds, sugar, butter, eggs, cocoa powder vanilla and almond essence in a food processor. Process until all ingredients are well combined.
3. Spread mixture evenly in the prepared pan. Place pan on a baking tray and place in the oven for approximately 20 minutes.
4. At this point remove baking tray from the oven and making sure not to burn yourself (I speak from experience!) gently arrange the peach halves in a pattern on top of the tart. This is your chance to be as creative as you wish. The reason it is best to add the fruit at this stage is that if the fruit is arranged on top before it is first placed in the oven, it may sink in a bit and spoil your creativity!
5. Put the tray back in the oven for a further 20 minutes, once fruit is added. Remove from the oven once tart is slightly risen and firm to the touch with a hint of wobble underneath.
6. Slice and serve.
