This easy-to-make summer treat can be made non-dairy with coconut milk or another milk alternative if desired. The consistency will vary depending on the “milk” chosen, but the end result will still be very chocolatey. It’s not too sweet, so feel free to add more sugar as well as extras such as cacao nibs, chocolate chips, dried fruits, or chopped fresh fruit or berries.
These pears are quick and easy to prepare, and kids love them! Ideas for serving include:
* Add a dollop to yogurt or ice cream
* Top with nuts and raisins or a splash of cream
* Enjoy with a wedge of dark chocolate
* Once cooled, chop and use as you would jams or jellies (on toast, pancakes, waffles,
quick breads, muffins and scones
Be sure to use firm pears – no need to peel if organic. Can be served warm, room temperature or cold.
