Ingredients
Baked Pears
- 4 Small Pears, not too ripe
- 3 Tbsp Maple syrup
- 1 Lemon, rind and juice
- 1 tsp Vanilla essence
- 1 tsp Ground cinnamon
Crepes
- 210 g Plain flour
- 3 Egg
- 450 ml Milk
- 2 tsp Vanilla essence
- a pinch Salt
To serve
- 400 g Greek yoghurt
- 4 Tbsp Pistachios, toasted, chopped
- A drizzle Barker's Choc Lovers Chocolate Sauce
Method
Baked Pears
- Preheat the oven to 180°C.
- Cut the pears in half and place in an oven proof casserole dish.
- Mix the maple syrup, lemon juice, lemon rind, cinnamon and vanilla together in a small bowl. Pour the mixture on top of the pears being sure to cover them all completely.
- Bake for 30-45 minutes or until tender. The baking time will vary depending on the size of your pears.
- Optional: Half way through baking, you can take the pears out and flip them over to coat the opposite side in the syrup.
Crepes
- In a blender, place all of the crepe ingredients and blend on high until combined. Set aside for 15-30 minutes until the mixture is slightly bubbly on top.
- While the pears are baking you can make the crepes.
- Place a large saucepan over a medium heat. Spray with cooking oil and let the saucepan heat up well. To get a nice pattern on the crepes I find it best when the pan is nice and hot.
- Pour about 1/3 cup of batter into the pan and swirl around quickly to evenly coat the base of the pan. Let the crepe cook for 2 minutes on this side, flip and cook on the other side for 1 minute.
- This recipes makes approximately 8 large crepes.
To Serve
- This recipe makes 1 small baked pear and 2 crepes per person.
- Take one crepe and spread 50 grams of the yoghurt in the middle. Layer half a baked pear cut in slices on top of the yoghurt and roll the crepe up. Repeat with the second crepe.
- Drizzle your desired amount of 1 bottle Barker's Choc Lovers Chocolate Dessert Sauce on top of each crepe and sprinkle with chopped nuts.
Tips
- For a gluten-free option, substitute plain flour for oat flour or chickpea flour.
- For a nut-free option, substitute toasted pistachios with pepita seeds.
