ROASTED SECKEL PEARS WITH VANILLA MASCARPONE CREAM AND THYME
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Place cored pear halves cut side up in a baking dish. Drizzle lemon juice over the tops of the pears, dot with butter and sprinkle with granulated sugar. Pour about 3 tablespoons of water into the bottom of the baking dish. Arrange thyme sprigs around the pears. Bake Seckel pears for about 30-40 minutes, flipping the pear halves to skin-side up halfway through baking. Larger pears will take longer to cook - estimate an additional 20 minutes or so. They are done when a fork easily slides through the flesh in the thickest part of the pear. Remove from oven and cool to room temperature. Meanwhile, pour cream into a medium mixing bowl. Slice a vanilla bean in half lengthwise and scrape out the seeds. Add the gooey vanilla seeds to the cream and stir, then throw in the bean pod too. Refrigerate the cream mixture and mixing bowl for an hour or more. Remove the vanilla bean pod from the cream. Add the Mascarpone and beat on medium speed until well combined. Add the powdered sugar and continue beating until soft peaks form. Top each pear with a dollop of the cream mixture. Sprinkle with chopped fresh or roasted thyme leaves (from the pear roasting pan).
Tips:
- Use high-quality vanilla extract or vanilla beans for the best flavor.
- Make sure the mascarpone cheese is cold before using, as this will help it whip up more easily.
- If you don't have heavy cream, you can use milk instead. However, the cream will make the mousse lighter and fluffier.
- If you want a sweeter mousse, you can add more sugar to taste.
- You can flavor the mousse with other ingredients, such as chocolate, fruit, or nuts.
- The mousse can be served immediately or chilled for later.
Conclusion:
Vanilla mascarpone cream is a delicious and versatile dessert that can be enjoyed on its own or used as a filling or topping for other desserts. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. Whether you are looking for a quick and easy dessert or something more special, vanilla mascarpone cream is sure to please.
