Add the vanilla pod and half of the pulp to the pot and bring to the boil. Peel the pears and carefully remove the core with a cookie cutter.

    Place puff pastry slices next to each other and defrost at room temperature for about 20 minutes. Knead marzipan and icing sugar and cut into quarters. Sieve some icing sugar onto the work surface and roll out the marzipan into 4 plates (approx. 24x14 cm). Fill pears with Amarettini and wrap them in marzipan. Cut off any protruding marzipan. Separate 1 egg. Roll out puff pastry slices to a rectangle of 25x16 cm and wrap the pears in one slice each. Brush the edges with egg white and press down well. Cut off protruding edges of the pastry. Place the pears on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Lay the remaining dough on top of each other (do not knead) and roll out again. Cut out leaves for decoration and stick them on the pears with egg white or put them on the baking tray. Mix egg yolk and cream and spread the leaves with it. Bake in the preheated oven (electric: 225 ° C/ gas: level 4/) for about 25 minutes.
