Instructions:

For the walnut tarts, first prepare the shortcrust pastry. To do this, cut butter into small pieces, crumble with flour and quickly knead with sugar until smooth. Wrap dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.

Preheat oven to 200°C. Thinly butter six small tart tins (diameter 9cm).

Roll out shortcrust pastry to a thickness of approx. 3cm and cut out six discs (diameter 15cm). Place the dough in the tartlet molds and press a little on the sides of the molds. Cover the dough with baking paper cut to size, sprinkle with dried pulses and bake in the oven (middle rack) for about 10 minutes.

Remove dough from oven, remove legumes and paper. Let dough cool in the pan. Reduce oven temperature to 180°C.

For garnish, drain pears well on paper towels and make fan-shaped incisions. For filling, separate eggs into yolks and clear. Melt chocolate over steam and stir in brittle.

Beat yolks with powdered sugar until foamy. Beat egg whites with remaining granulated sugar until stiff. First stir the slightly cooled chocolate mixture into the yolk mixture, then gently fold in the snow and the nuts.

Pour the mixture into the ramekins and spread evenly on the pastry base. Top each tartlet with a pear half and 2 walnut kernels and bake in the oven (middle rack) for about 15 minutes.

Remove the walnut tarts from the oven, drizzle with honey d
