Poached Pear Tartlets and Chocolate Sauce WORKSHOP

$200.00
sold out

Winter is the season for pears, with varieties like Anjou, Bartlett, and Bosc available in stores. Each type of pear has its own unique flavor and texture, which becomes more apparent when poached. The delicate flavor of poached pears can be enjoyed on their own as a dessert. When combined with almond cream and a sugar dough crust, they reach the next level of deliciousness.

In this workshop, you will learn how to prepare each component in advance and bring them together into a beautifully crafted tartlet.

The session begins with a demonstration, followed by a hands-on experience for students. During the demonstration, students are encouraged to touch and feel the texture of the ingredients. Enjoy learning in an intimate home kitchen setting with a small group of participants. Each student will assemble and bake three 5-inch tartlets to take home. Students will also enjoy a plated pear tartlet served with chocolate sauce for tasting.

STEP 1: DEMONSTRATION & HANDS-ON: DOUGH

The demonstration starts with molding sugar dough sheets into tartlet molds. Students will then get hands-on experience molding four tartlets each. After resting, the molded tartlets will be blind-baked. While they are baking, the demonstration will continue with instructions on how to make sugar dough from scratch and prepare the sheets for the tartlets.

STEP 2: DEMONSTRATION & HANDS-ON: PEARS

You will learn how to select and prepare pears for poaching, followed by a lesson on making Frangipane (almond cream). While the pears are poaching, we will return to the blind-baked tartlets, which will have cooled down. Students will then fill their tartlets with frangipane, add sliced poached pears, and bake them a second time.

STEP 3: FINISHING

Once the pear tartlets are baked, they will be carefully unmolded and left to cool before being packed into boxes to take home. Meanwhile, the instructor will demonstrate how to prepare the chocolate sauce. A finishing touch of rich chocolate sauce will elevate your dessert presentation.

STEP 4: TASTING AND Q & A TIME

Students will enjoy a plated pear tartlet with chocolate sauce prepared by the instructor, accompanied by tea. This will also be the time to review the recipe and ask any questions.
