Tray size: 25/35 cm
Method of preparation:
Sift the flour and cocoa into a bowl. Add sugar, rum essence, salt powder, eggs and butter cut into pieces. Knead all the ingredients by hand until the dough no longer sticks to your hand. Divide the dough into 2 balls, wrap in cling film and put one ball in the fridge for at least 30 minutes, and put the other ball in the freezer (to make it easier to shave).
Peel a squash, grate it and cut it into cubes and set aside until the juice is softened. Put the starch in a cup and gradually add the cold water and mix until no lumps remain. Pour over pears and mix the composition. Boil the pears for another 5 minutes and stir constantly. Allow to cool.
Put the cheese in a bowl and add the eggs, ground sugar and vanilla bourbon sugar then mix with a vertical mixer. Add the semolina and mix well.
