Chocolate Pear Galette
A delicious and simple chocolate pear galette recipe.
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup Dutch-process cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter cold and cut into small pieces
- 3 tbsp ice water
- 3 medium pears, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tbsp almond meal or ground almonds
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- Powdered sugar, for dusting
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, and salt.
- Add the cold butter to the bowl and use your fingers or a pastry cutter to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Drizzle the ice water over the mixture and gently mix until the dough comes together. Shape the dough into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet.
- In a small bowl, combine the almond meal, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a 2-inch border.
- Arrange the pear slices in an overlapping pattern over the almond mixture. Sprinkle the chocolate chips over the pears.
- Fold the edges of the dough over the filling, pleating as necessary. Brush the edges of the dough with the beaten egg wash.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the pears are tender.
- Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
