Drunken pear
Description
The recipe won't take much time. For this dessert, choose firm pears, otherwise they will fall apart during cooking; you can even use slightly underripe fruits, adjusting their sweetness with sugar. Be sure to monitor them carefully to avoid overcooking. This dessert is usually served with ice cream, soft cream cheese, or melted chocolate. Serve chilled.
