Difficulty People Time
Medium 6 60 minuti
Ingredients
100 g flour
100 g hazelnut flour
80 g powdered sugar (for the pastry)
100 g lactose-free butter
1 egg
1 pinch of salt
1 level teaspoon baking powder
to taste Seeds from 1 vanilla pod
250 g Sterilgarda Lactose-Free Mascarpone
2 tablespoon icing sugar (for the filling)
2 tablespoon pear cooking syrup
2 peeled and cleaned pears
2 spoons sugar
300 mL water
1 cinnamon stick
1 small glass of rum
100 g lactose-free dark chocolate
Preparation
  1. Lightly butter the tartlet molds using lactose-free butter.
  2. Mix the 00 flour, hazelnut flour, icing sugar, baking powder, salt, and vanilla seeds in a mixer.
  3. Add the cold lactose-free butter cut into cubes and process until the mixture becomes sandy.
  4. Add the egg and mix again until you obtain a soft but firm dough.
  5. Transfer the mixture into a piping bag and distribute it into the molds, leveling them well.
  6. Bake at 170°C for about 20 minutes.
  7. Remove from the oven and, once lukewarm, turn the tartlets out onto a wire rack.
  8. Using a sharp knife, lightly scoop out the inside, keeping the removed part aside and reducing it to crumbs for decoration.
  9. Prepare the syrup by pouring the water, rum, cinnamon stick and sugar into a pan.
  10. Add the peeled, cored, and halved pears and cook for about 20 minutes: they should be soft but not mushy. Drain the pears and set aside.
  11. Remove two tablespoons of syrup and set aside for the cream. Let the remaining syrup reduce over the heat until it thickens, then let it cool.
  12. Gently melt the lactose-free dark chocolate in a bain-marie and brush the bottom of the tartlets, leaving it to solidify.
  13. Mix the Sterilgarda Lactose-Free Mascarpone with the icing sugar and the two tablespoons of syrup kept aside.
  14. Cut two cooked pear halves into chunks and gently combine them with the mascarpone cream.
  15. Fill the tartlets with the mascarpone cream, using a spoon.
  16. Decorate with the reserved crumbs and caramelized pear wedges.
  17. Brush the edges of the tartlet and the pear on top with a little of the reduced syrup.
