Chocolate-Dipped Pears image

The small stature and low calorie count of Forelle pears make them ideal when you need just a little something sweet, although you can dunk any type, from a plump Bartlett to an elegant Bosc.

Number Of Ingredients 2

4 ounces dark chocolate (preferably at least 70 percent cacao), finely chopped
4 small pears, such as Forelle

Steps:

  • Melt chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over simmering water, stirring until smooth. Let cool slightly.
  • Starting at bottom of each pear, use a teaspoon to remove core, leaving stem at top intact. Dip bottom three-quarters of each pear in chocolate. Transfer to a parchment-lined plate, and refrigerate until chocolate has set, at least 15 minutes (and up to 2 hours). Bring to room temperature before serving.
