Choco-Pear Corollas

Ingredients:

• 4 ripe pears
• 150g dark chocolate (at least 70% cocoa)
• 50g white chocolate
• 1 tsp coconut oil
• Chopped nuts or desiccated coconut (optional for decoration)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F/175°C.
2. Cut the pears in half lengthways and scoop out the core (you can do this with a teaspoon).
3. Melt the dark chocolate in a bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler). Once melted, add 1 tsp of coconut oil and stir to combine.
4. Cover the pear halves in the melted chocolate completely and put them on a baking tray lined with baking paper.
5. Bake the pear halves in the oven for 15-20 minutes to soften them slightly and to allow the chocolate to set.
6. Melt the white chocolate in a separate bowl over a pot of simmering water and drizzle it over the pear halves.
7. Decorate with chopped nuts or desiccated coconut (optional).
8. Place the corollas in the fridge for 10-15 minutes for the white chocolate to set and to allow the pears to cool down.
9. Serve the Choco-Pear Corollas on a plate and enjoy!

Verdict:

Choco-Pear Corollas are a delicious and healthy dessert option. The combination of the sweet and juicy pears with the rich and indulgent dark chocolate is a winning combination. The added touch of white chocolate and nuts/coconut brings added texture and flavor to this dessert. It is easy to make and looks impressive on the plate, making it perfect for dinner parties or special occasions.

Serving Suggestions:

These corollas are perfect on their own, but you can also serve them with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for added indulgence. You can also add some fresh berries or a drizzle of raspberry sauce to give it a tangy twist. Enjoy!
