Chocolate & Pear Pastries (Fagotttini)

These easy to make Chocolate & Pear Pastries are made with puff pastry. Filled with fresh pears and chocolate chips. Nothing easier or more delicious than that!

📝 Ingredients

• 1 roll puff pastry either store bought or homemade
• 1 large pear (or 2 small) peeled and cubed small*
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons water
• 1/2 tablespoon cornstarch
• 2-3 tablespoons mini chocolate chips (dark, white or milk chocolate whatever you prefer)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Pre-heat oven to 350F (180C). Line a medium large baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. 2In a medium pot add the chopped pears, sugar, water and corn starch, stir to combine, cook on low/medium heat, stirring often until thickened about 15 minutes, move to a clean bowl to cool.
3. 3Unroll the puff pastry (if frozen then let thaw completely) and roll a couple of times with a rolling pin, cut into 6 rectangles (or squares). On the bottom half of every rectangle (or square) divide the pear filling evenly, sprinkle with some chocolate chips on top.
4. 4Make 3 slashes on the top half of every rectangle and fold over to cover the filling, seal the edges with a little water, and then seal again with the tongs of a fork.
5. 5Place on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet, brush a little milk on each pastry and sprinkle with a little sugar, bake for approximately 15 minutes or until golden. These are so good either warm or room temperature. Enjoy!
