Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon softened butter
2 ripe pears - peeled, cored, and sliced, or more to taste
3 eggs
¾ cup white sugar
1 ½ cups heavy whipping cream
½ cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons kirsch (cherry brandy)
2 tablespoons grated lemon zest
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cardamom

Steps:
