Ingredients
US|METRIC
- 2 servings
- 80 grams puff pastry
- 2 pears (Rocha)
- 4 mint leaves
- 2 teaspoons dark brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons cassis
- liqueur
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 egg yolk
- almond (to taste)
Directions
- Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius.
- On a floured surface, roll out the puff pastry, and cut out 4 squares 10 centimeters long by 10 centimeters wide, as pictured.
- Peel the pear without removing the stem, and use a knife to slightly cut the back of the pear so as to be able to lie flat on the dough. Set aside.
- In a mortar, place the mint leaves and sugar, and crush a little. Add the Cassis liqueur and lemon, stir well until you get a very dark homogeneous liquid.
- Place the liquid in the base of the puff pastry, then the pear, and the remaining liquid on top.
- Close the pastry with the other rectangle on top, and press edges with a fork or fingertips.
- Brush the dough with the egg yolk, and put almonds on top.
- Bake for about 25 minutes, or until well browned as in the image.

I made this dessert for my husband and me. I wanted to do something different from cakes, pies and the like. This pear puff pastry went together quickly and had many layers of flavor. I used orange liquor.
