Pear and chocolate roll

Cakes filled with fruit are definetely gorgious and a roll with pears and chocolate to warm the mouth during the first aurumn cold sided with a huge cup of hot chocolate is one of those pleasure in which  we can also indulge sometimes, obviously always without exagerating.

Puff pastry, one pack
Pears
Chocolate in squares
Cocoa powder

Chocolate custard (eggs, milk, sugar, cocoa)
Cinnamon

(Yolk for coloring the dough)

Spread the dough in a rectangular baking tray, prepare a chocolate custard. Peel and roughly or finely chop the pears depending if you prefer the 'jammy' consistence or not, add the cinnamon powder and the chocolate crushed in irregular pieces. Pour the pears in the custard and then in the central part of the dough, close the dough being careful of not creating holes, brush with the yolk to color and bake in warm oven (220°C) for about  30''. Before serving sprinkle with cocoa powder and eventually icing sugar.
