Ingredients for 4 servings:

  • 3 pears, fully ripe
  • 4 eggs, separated
  • 1 lemon(s) (organic)
  • 100 g dark chocolate with chili
  • 500 g quark
  • 25 g wholemeal flour
  • 25 g cornstarch or wholemeal flour
  • 50 g powdered sugar
  • 50 g sugar for the egg whites
  • e.g. cocoa or drinking chocolate powder for sprinkling or icing sugar

Instructions

Working time approx. 15 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 30 minutes; Total time approx. 45 minutes

Alcohol-free and with whole grain

Peel, halve, and core the pears. For a dessert or for small dishes, pre-cook the halves; otherwise, chop them into cubes or slices. Grate the dark chocolate with chili. Separate the eggs. Beat the egg yolks until frothy, then stir in the powdered sugar. Stir in a little lemon zest and lemon juice, quark, wholemeal flour, and cornstarch. Beat the egg whites with the sugar until stiff peaks form and fold in. Pour some of the mixture into a greased baking dish and add the pears. Add the chocolate, possibly with extra chili, then the rest of the mixture. Bake at 180 degrees Celsius. For small dishes, this takes 15-20 minutes. For a baking dish, 20-40 minutes, depending on the thickness of the mixture filled. After baking, dust with cocoa powder, hot chocolate powder, or powdered sugar. This quantity makes a main course for 4 people.
