Pear&Choc1

Chocolate and pears go so well together, the dark chocolate and sweet moist pears make a lovely combination. I have already posted a pear and chocolate loaf , ideal with afternoon tea, this is more of a dessert which is perfect served with a scoop of ice-cream.

At this time of the year you can use fresh pears, making sure they are nice and ripe. You can always use a tin of pears too though!

Ingredients :

  • 200 g dark chocolat (70%)
  • 150 g butter
  • 120 g sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 130 g self-raising flour
  • 4 pears

Method :

  1. Pre-heat oven to 180°C
  2. Melt the butter and chocolat together in a bain-marie (put ingredients in bowl and place bowl in saucepan of water over a low heat)
  3. Mix in the sugar
  4. Separate the eggs into whites and yolks and add the yolks to the mixture
  5. Fold in the flour
  6. Beat the egg whites (with a pinch of salt) until stiff and gently fold them into the rest of the ingredients
  7. Peel and core pears and slice in half
  8. Grease and flour tin, place the pear halves on the bottom and cover with chocolate cake mixture
  9. Bake in oven at 180°C for 40 minutes
  10. Remove from tin immediately and place on rack to cool
