Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Roll pastry out to 1/4 inch thickness and use it to line a 9-inch tart dish. Prick the pastry with a fork and then place into the freezer for 20 minutes to prevent pastry from rising during baking.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Set crust aside. Reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
- Heat a saucepan about 1/3-full of water to a low simmer, about 5 minutes, then reduce heat to lowest setting. Place a heat-proof bowl over the pan in such a way that it does not touch the water. Add chocolate to the bowl and allow to melt. Limit stirring to an absolute minimum to prevent chocolate from separating.
- Mix ground almonds, eggs, sugar, and butter together in a bowl. Add warm melted chocolate and stir to combine. Pour chocolate mixture into the baked pastry crust.
- Arrange pears on top of the tart by pressing them into the chocolate mixture.
- Bake in the hot oven until pastry is golden and mixture is firm, 35 to 45 minutes.

PEAR AND WALNUT TARTE TATIN
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Coarsely chop walnuts and in a shallow baking pan toast in middle of oven until a shade darker, about 4 minutes. (Leave oven on.) Peel, quarter, and core pears.
- In a deep 12-inch heavy skillet melt butter and sugar, stirring occasionally, and boil 1 minute. Add pears and cook over moderate heat, turning pears occasionally (be careful not to break them) and gently stirring syrup, until pears are glazed and syrup begins to thicken, about 20 minutes. Stir in rum and lemon juice and simmer, turning pears and gently stirring frequently, until most of syrup is evaporated and pears are tender and golden brown, about 10 minutes.
- Arrange pears, cored sides up, in a 10-inch (1 1/2-quart) glass pie plate and sprinkle with walnuts.
- On a lightly floured surface with a floured rolling pin roll out dough into a 12-inch round (a scant 1/4 inch thick) and drape over pears. Tuck edge between pears and rim of dish and with a knife cut several steam vents in pastry. Bake tart in middle of oven 20 minutes, or until juices are bubbling and crust is golden brown.
- Have ready a rimmed serving plate slightly larger than pie plate. Let tart stand 5 minutes.
- Invert serving plate over pie plate and, wearing oven mitts and keeping plates firmly pressed together, invert tart onto serving plate. Serve pear and walnut tart warm or at room temperature.
Tips:
- For a perfectly flaky crust, use a food processor to pulse the butter and flour together until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Then, add just enough ice water to bring the dough together. Avoid overworking the dough, as this will make it tough.
- If you don't have parchment paper, you can grease and flour the tart pan instead. Just be sure to shake out any excess flour before filling the pan with the dough.
- To prevent the pears from browning, toss them with a little lemon juice or vinegar before adding them to the tart.
- For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate instead of semisweet chocolate.
- If you don't have a tart pan, you can use a 9-inch pie plate instead. Just be sure to trim the excess dough around the edges.
- Serve the tart warm or at room temperature, with a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream.
Conclusion:
This pear, walnut, and chocolate tart is a delicious and elegant dessert that is perfect for any occasion.
