Asian Pear Caramel Sundaes image

Asian pears, sometimes known as apple-pears, are incredibly juicy, sweet and crunchy. They're one of my favorite fruits to eat and to cook with, whether in a savory dish or a dessert. This recipe uses a pear to make a delicious fruit caramel to spoon over ice cream for a fruity sundae that's a perfect end to a meal.

Time 15m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons heavy cream
1 large Asian pear, peeled, cored and diced
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Ice cream, any flavor, for serving
Whipped cream, for serving

Steps:

  • Place the sugar in a small saucepan and cook over medium heat until it has melted and begins to bubble, 1 to 2 minutes. Continue cooking until it turns light amber in color, 1 to 2 minutes longer, making sure to watch very closely to prevent burning. Immediately add the butter and cream and whisk until combined (it will bubble and boil, but just keep whisking!).
  • Add the diced Asian pear to the caramel and cook until the pear is al dente, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the vanilla and salt and serve over your favorite ice cream with a dollop of whipped cream.
