Pie with whole pears
Description
For the pie, fragrant, small, yet ripe and firm pears are best. The easiest way to remove the core is with a small sharp knife. Bitter or white chocolate is not suitable for baking; milk chocolate is the best choice. The pie looks very impressive on the table, so it is not embarrassing to serve it at any occasion and treat your loved ones and family. Serve it cooled or slightly warm.
