This golden, glossy delight could not be easier to make. All major varieties of pears - Bartlett, Bosc, red, Anjou - work equally well. However, Bosc roasts up slightly firmer than the others.

Time 1h15m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 quart vanilla ice cream, softened
1/4 cup good-quality brandy
4 firm ripe pears (Bosc, Bartlett, D'anjou)
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup butter, melted
1/4 cup honey

Stir in the orange and lemon zest, and the spices. With a small, sharp knife, score the rounded part of each pear half diagonally in one direction, then the other, to form a diamond pattern. Place pears cut side down in baking pan. Spoon honey mixture over pears.
  • Bake pears 40-45 minutes, basting them with pan juices every 10 minutes or so, until the are very soft when pierced. Place one pear half on each plate and place scoops of ice cream around them. Garnish with the lemon and orange slices.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe but firm pears: Overly ripe pears will become mushy when roasted, while unripe pears will be too hard. Look for pears that are slightly soft to the touch and have a sweet aroma.
  • Use a variety of pears: Different varieties of pears have different flavors and textures. Try using a mix of varieties, such as Bartlett, Bosc, and Anjou, to create a more complex and interesting dish.
  • Roast the pears until they are tender: The pears should be tender enough to easily pierce with a fork, but not so soft that they fall apart. The roasting time will vary depending on the size and variety of pears.
  • Make the granola ahead of time: The granola can be made up to 2 weeks in advance and stored in an airtight container at room temperature.
  • Use high-quality vanilla ice cream: The vanilla ice cream will add a rich and creamy flavor to the dish. Look for a vanilla ice cream that is made with real vanilla beans.

Conclusion:

Roasted pears with cardamom granola and vanilla ice cream is a delicious and elegant dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The pears are roasted until they are tender and caramelized, and the granola adds a crunchy and nutty flavor. The vanilla ice cream adds a rich and creamy finish. This dish is sure to impress your guests and leave them wanting more.
