    Chocolate Frangipan Tart

    Valentine's Day is just around the corner. Celebrate your love for someone special with this Maple Chocolate Frangipane Tart!

    Pear Frangipane Tart

    This tart has been taken to a whole new level using  SEVA Maple Water. Fresh pears are delicately poached in nourishing pure maple water that has been extracted from Quebec's Laurenation Forest.  The water has no added preservatives, sugar, or water. It contains over 46 bioactive nutrients including phytonutrients, which can only be found in tree water. SEVA is chock full of antioxidants, electrolytes, and helps boost your immune system.

    SEVA

    The water has a slightly sweet taste and is delicious served cold. It is also a great base for a cocktail! Because the water is derived from 100% maple sap, I thought it would be perfect for poaching pears. I placed the pears in the pan and added the water...and that's it! Since the pears and maple water are naturally sweet, there was no need to add any extra sugar. I also replaced the water in the pie dough recipe with SEVA Maple Water which resulted in a sweet maple after taste.

    Combined with ground almonds and chocolate, this tart has made it up to one of our top 10 favorite desserts. Each bite was so full of flavor. If you are planning a romantic evening home this Valentine's Day, I highly suggest that this be the dessert!
