Zucchini boats with pear
Description
The recipe won't take much time. I would also call this dessert: "Pear Crumble in Zucchini." Tender pear and cinnamon filling with a crunchy cookie crumb topping... all nestled in a soft zucchini boat. This dessert is truly original and unusual. But just try it, and you'll definitely want to make it again! For now, check out the recipe. Serve chilled.

Crush the cookies into crumbs and repeat the same procedure as with the pear. Melt the butter, add the cookie crumbs to it, and sprinkle in the sugar. Cook for a couple of minutes, stirring constantly, until the crumbs are lightly toasted.
