This is a recipe I made up myself when I wanted to combine the classic pears and chocolate with my favourite comfort food – Clafouti.
INGREDIENTS
* 4 small pears
* 80 grams flour
* 80 grams sugar
* 4 eggs
* 1 cup cream
* 1 cup milk
* 50 grams dark chocolate (I used Lindt 70%)
METHOD
* Preheat oven to 200C
* Grease baking dish with a little butter
* Cut tops off pears to use as decoration
* Peel and dice pears and place into greased dish
* Break chocolate into squares and add to pears
* Mix sugar and flour together
* Add eggs, cream and milk and whisk until blended
* Pour mixture over fruit and chocolate
* Bake in oven until cooked, about 35 – 40 minutes
Delicious when sprinkled with powdered sugar and served with cream or ice cream

We cooked up some pears this morning and intended putting a crumble top on, for dinner tonight.
Your chocolate and pear clafouti sounds delightful, so we might give that a try.
