Pear Gratin With Mascarpone Custard image

Provided by Nancy Harmon Jenkins

Categories     dessert, side dish

Time 1h15m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup milk
2 egg yolks
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup flour
1 cup mascarpone
3 cups heavy cream
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup sugar
6 pears, peeled, halved lengthwise, cores removed
2 pieces candied ginger, minced (optional)

Steps:

  • To make the custard, heat the milk in a heavy saucepan until it is almost boiling. In a separate bowl, beat egg yolks until they are light and pale-colored. Beat sugar into the yolks, tablespoon by tablespoon. Add flour and beat until smooth. Add heated milk to the yolk mixture in a slow stream, beating constantly. Beat until smooth. Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook, stirring constantly, until mixture comes to a boil. Boil for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and chill.
  • When the mixture is thoroughly chilled, remove from refrigerator and whisk until smooth. Fold the mascarpone into the mixture. In a separate bowl, beat the cream until medium-stiff and fold into the custard mixture. Stir in vanilla and chill until ready to use.
  • To make the gratin, preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Melt the butter in a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add sugar and stir constantly until a golden brown caramel develops. Remove from heat.
  • Arrange the pear halves, cut side down, on top of the caramel and scatter minced ginger, if desired, over the pears. Cover the pears with foil and bake for 15 minutes or until tender when pierced with a skewer.
  • Place two pear halves in each of six individual gratin dishes. Divide the caramel among the dishes. Pour about 1 cup of custard into each gratin dish, covering the pears. Place the gratin dishes on a baking sheet for easier handling and bake for 5 minutes. Remove from oven.
  • Change the oven setting to broil. Place gratins on the upper rack of the oven and broil carefully until the custard bubbles and browns, about 1 1/2 minutes. Watch very carefully; do not burn.

PEAR CUSTARD PIE



Pear Custard Pie image

This pear custard pie recipe may become my go-to fall recipe. I loved the creaminess of the custard and the slight crunch from the pears. With the cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg you have all my favorite fall spices in one dessert. I tried this warm and chilled - it was delicious both ways.

Provided by Brenda Newton

Categories     Pies

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 9" unbaked pie shell
5 Tbsp flour, divided (3 & 2)

1/8 tsp cloves
1 pinch nutmeg

Steps:

  • 1. In a small bowl combine brown sugar and 3 Tbsps. of flour. Sprinkle evenly over the bottom of the unbaked pie shell. Arrange pears in shell (slices arrange radiating out). I cube and slice and just drop in most the time. Be sure not to overfill so there is room for custard.
  • 2. In medium bowl whisk together evaporated milk, egg, and vanilla. Then pour over pears. To prevent overspilling do not overfill pie. If you want it full be sure to line bottom of oven with foil or use a deeper dish.
  • 3. In a small bowl combine remaining flour, sugar and spices. Sprinkle over the top of the pie.
  • 4. Bake for 45 minutes at 425 or until knife inserted in center comes out clean.
