I pull this recipe whenever I feel the need to impress. It is a wonderful dessert (and I don't "do" desserts as a rule). Beware of sharing the amaretto with the pears during cooking - result WILL vary - hic. Enjoy!

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

8 hard Bosc pears
8 teaspoons brown sugar
8 tablespoons butter, room temperature
16 amaretti (Italian almond cookies)
1/2 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Core the pears, leaving the skins on.
  • Mix the sugar and butter together and spoon into the cavities.
  • On a large baking dish make eight aluminum foil ''wells'' and place a pear in each. This will stop the butter mixture from running out of the cavities. Place the baking dish in a shallow pan of water. Bake the pears one hour.
  • Place the cookies on a breadboard and crush finely, using a rolling pin or a thick glass.
  • To serve, arrange the pears in a serving dish and sprinkle with crushed amaretti. Pass the cream separately.
