Ingredients
1 roll of puff pastry without hydrogenated fats
2 pears
40 grams of dark chocolate
50 grams of amaretti cookies (or normal cookies if you don't find amaretti)
30 grams of dried fruit including hazelnuts, almonds and cashews
1 tablespoon of brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon of vanilla
1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
Clean the pears, peel them, divide them in half and remove the core. Cut the pears into small pieces. Coarsely chop the chocolate, dried fruit and cookies. Set aside a couple of tablespoons of chopped cookies, mix the rest of the cookies, pears, chocolate, nuts, sugar, cinnamon and vanilla in a bowl. Roll out the puff pastry on a baking sheet covered with baking paper. Spread the cookies kept aside on the bottom, then the mixture of pears and chocolate, making sure to leave a small edge. Now turn the cake so that one of the two longer sides is next to you. Calmly, lift this side and wrap the cake around itself. Then close the ends by sealing the dough with your fingers. Make small cuts with a knife on the surface of the cake. Brush with a little vegetable milk and bake in the oven at 180 degrees for 35 minutes.
