Caramelized Pears With Tiramisu Cream Recipe
Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 4 x pear, ripe but very hard, (preferably Bartlett or possibly Bosc)
- 67/100 c. granulated sugar
- 2 Tbsp. minced candied ginger
- 1 x thinly sliced lemon Filling
- 1/2 c. light ricotta cheese
- 2 Tbsp. granulated sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
- 2 tsp dark rum or possibly 2 tsp extra strong coffee or possibly 2 tsp coffee liqueur
- 2 Tbsp. minced chocolate, bittersweet or possibly 2 tbsp minced semisweet chocolate
- 2 Tbsp. icing sugar, sifted
Directions
- Preparation time is 20 min.
- Cut pears in half lengthwise. Scoop out cores (a melon baller works well).
- Sprinkle sugar over the bottom of a large skillet which will hold all the pears in one layer.
- Cook, uncovered, on medium-high heat, till sugar begins to brown, but be careful not to burn.
- Add in pears cut side down. Sprinkle with ginger and arrange lemon slices over top. Reduce heat and cook gently for about 10 min. Cover.
- Remove from heat and allow to rest for 30 min.
- Filling:In a small bowl, combine ricotta, sugar, vanilla and rum.
- Place minced chocolate in a strainer to remove any chocolate "dust" (this prevents the ricotta from discolouring). Stir chocolate pcs into filling.
- To serve, place a pear half, cut side up, on each plate. Scoop or possibly spoon some cheese onto each half.
- Drizzle pear and plate with any syrup from cooking.
- Arrange a cooked lemon slice on each and dust with icing sugar.
