Ingredients
- 4 Pears fresh
For the brew
- 100 ml White wine
- 3 tbsp Honey
- 1 Cinnamon stick
- 1 tbsp Grated lemon peel
- 1 packet Vanilla sugar
- 2 Cloves
For the cream
- 250 g Mascarpone
- 250 g Natural yoghurt
- 50 g Walnuts
- 50 g Chocolate with 65 or 70% cocoa
- 1 tbsp Honey
aside from that
- Chocolate sauce to decorate
- 4 tsp Cranberry or cherry jam
- Walnuts for sprinkling
Instructions
Preparatory work
- Peel and halve the pears, remove the core, chop the walnuts, cut the chocolate into small pieces or grate. Grate the lemon peel of an untreated lemon.
Preparation of the brew
- Put the white wine in a small saucepan. Add honey, vanilla sugar (I use homemade), cinnamon stick, cloves and lemon peel, bring to the boil and switch to low temperature. Place the pear half in the stock and steam for approx. 2 minutes until translucent, turning once. The pears should still be firm to the bite. Let cool in the stock.
Preparation of the cream
- Mix the mascarpone with natural yoghurt well. Add chocolate, walnuts, 1 tablespoon honey (to taste), mix well.
Serving
- Drain the pears.
- Spread the cream in a dessert bowl or plate, cover with half a pear, put 1 teaspoon each of cranberry or cherry jam (in this case I used homemade cherry jam) on top of the pears and decorate with chocolate sauce, sprinkle with walnuts.
Tips
- Instead of chocolate sauce, you can use chocolate liqueur. I melted chocolate with whiskey and used it to decorate, it tastes heavenly.
- It may be that the specified amount is only enough for two people because the dessert is very tasty.
- The recipe for homemade vanilla sugar is from user "digger56" - Thank you! Bourbon vanilla sugar - basics
