Steps

• Here’s a tip: before working with the pastry, roll it out slightly with a rolling pin. You’ll see it puff up better during baking 😉

• Arrange all the ingredients on the work surface: pears, chocolate, rectangular puff pastry, brush, and pizza cutter.

  

• In a saucepan, melt the butter and let it cool slightly. Cut the puff pastry lengthwise into 3 strips and using the kitchen brush spread the butter.

  

• Overlap the 3 strips and roll up the pastry.

  

• Wrap in parchment paper and let rest in the freezer for about 1 hour.

  

• Meanwhile, prepare the other ingredients for the filling of the pear and chocolate puff pastries. Chop the chocolate and dice the pears, then add the remaining melted butter from the saucepan.

  

• Add 2 teaspoons of apricot jam and stir to combine.

  

• Take the roll out of the freezer and cut it into slices about 1 cm thick. Preheat the oven to 356 degrees Fahrenheit and continue preparing the pear and chocolate puff pastries.

  

• Shape the dough into oval forms. A slight pressure on the slice’s surface will suffice.

  

• Fill the pear and chocolate puff pastries by placing the seasoned pear and chopped chocolate in the center of the dough.

  

• Seal forming small crescents, then transfer the pastry with the puff pastries onto a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 356 degrees Fahrenheit for about 20 minutes.

  

• Once baking is complete, turn off the oven leaving the door slightly open and let the pear and chocolate puff pastries cool completely.
