Number Of Ingredients 4

2 tablespoons (divided) butter
2 tablespoons (divided) white sugar
2 Bosc pears, halved and cored
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch baking dish with 1 tablespoon butter. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon sugar into buttered dish.
  • Rub remaining 1 tablespoon butter over pear halves; arrange pears cut sides down in prepared baking dish and sprinkle with remaining 1 tablespoon sugar.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes. Pour cream over pears and continue baking until tender, about 20 minutes more.

Tips:

  • Select ripe but firm pears. Overripe pears will become mushy when baked, while underripe pears will not soften enough. Look for pears that are slightly yielding to the touch and have no bruises or blemishes.
  • Peel the pears if desired. You can leave the peels on for a more rustic look, but peeling them will make the pears easier to eat.
  • Core the pears. Use a melon baller or a sharp knife to remove the core from each pear.
  • Stuff the pears with your desired filling. Popular fillings include nuts, dried fruits, and spices. You can also use a store-bought filling, such as apple pie filling.
  • Drizzle the pears with olive oil or melted butter. This will help to prevent them from drying out in the oven.
  • Bake the pears at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-30 minutes, or until they are tender. The baking time will vary depending on the size and ripeness of the pears.
  • Serve the pears warm or at room temperature. They can be topped with whipped cream, ice cream, or a drizzle of honey.

Conclusion:

Creamy baked pears are a delicious and elegant dessert that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight treat. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a dessert that will impress your family and friends.
