This is the first time I have made this tart. It is super easy using the Thermomix, but it can be adapted easily using a food processor. Next time I make it, I'll cut the pear into thicker slices, probably 2-3 cm thick so that they do not get totally covered by the pastry. It will look a lot nicer. The taste though, was beautiful and it goes extremely well with cream or ice-cream. I had mine with crème fraîche and my husband with vanilla ice-cream. It is best when served warm, but also nice at room temperature. Delicious dessert!
