Easy recipe:pear clafoutis (6 people)

Don't have much time before your guests arrive? Make a pear clafoutis! To make this dessert, cut the pears into pieces and arrange them in a baking dish. Beat 2 eggs with 25 cl of milk, 15 g of butter, 60 g of sugar, 40 g of flour and a pinch of salt. If you wish, you can also add a little cinnamon. Pour the mixture over the pears and bake at 200 degrees for about 35 minutes. It's ready!

Pear-chocolate crumble, a gourmet dessert

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.

The timeless pear in wine

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.
