Preparation method

How do you make this?

Preparation method for pears

  • Put water, sugar, lemon, cinnamon, and rose petals in a tall cooking pot.
  • Bring the mixture to a boil.
  • Meanwhile, peel the pears.
  • Cut off a piece from the bottom so they can stand upright nicely.
  • Remove the core with a melon baller.
  • Add the pears to the syrup and let them simmer gently for 5 minutes.
  • Let them cool in the juice.
  • Cut the pears into a fan shape: start at the top of the pear and cut downwards, each time with 1 to 3 millimeters in between. Then give them a push-twist motion to create fans.

Preparation method for hazelnut filling

  • Are you using whole hazelnuts? Then first chop them finely and weigh out 250 grams.
  • Beat the soft butter, vanilla pod, and white sugar together.
  • Add an egg and some hazelnut powder alternately.
  • Mix until smooth.
  • Divide the dough into 2 and mix the 100 g of melted chocolate in a bowl.
  • Fill 2 piping bags to draw lines alternately. Don't have a piping bag? Create a marbled effect by distributing the dough in dollops on the puff pastry and lightly mixing them here and there.
