Pour the mixture over the pears and bake at 200 degrees for about 35 minutes. It's ready!
If the combination of pear and chocolate is so well known, it is simply because these two ingredients combine so well. To give a crunchy touch to your dessert, opt for a crumble. To make a crumble for 6 people, peel and remove the seeds from 4 pears. Cut the fruit into slices or cubes, then distribute them in a dish. Break over 100 g of dark chocolate. Then prepare the crumble by first mixing 80 g of ground almonds with 80 g of flour and 120 g of sugar. Add 80 g of butter in small pieces, mix with your fingertips. Crumble the almond-flour-sugar-butter mixture over the pears and chocolate, then bake at 180° for 20 minutes.
Classic, but delicious, this recipe is always a sensation at dessert time. For 4 people, peel 4 pears and core them from the bottom using an apple corer. Alternatively, cut each pear in half and remove the seeds with a knife. Boil in a saucepan 40 cl of good red wine, 40 g of sugar, 2 cloves, 4 peppercorns, a little cinnamon, the zest of an orange and a split vanilla pod. Then add the pears and cook over low heat for 15 minutes:the pears should remain a little firm. Then drain the pears, keeping the wine, which you will then heat again to thicken it. Just before serving, coat the pears with the wine and garnish with a mint leaf. This dessert can be eaten cold or lukewarm.
