Williams pears 8 pcs. |
white dry wine 750 ml |
oranges 2 pcs |
sugar 200 g |
vanilla sugar 20 g |
cinnamon 3 sticks |
BUTTER: |

Step 1
Peel the pears, cut out the core from underneath and trim the bottom so that it is even. Put the pears in a saucepan, pour in the wine, add the juice and zest of the oranges, cinnamon, vanilla sugar and sugar. Cover the pan with foil, make a few holes in it and put it in an oven heated to 160 degrees for 50 minutes. Then take the pear out of the oven and leave it in the syrup overnight.
Step 2
Melt the chocolate and butter in a water bath and allow the mixture to cool. Separate the whites from the yolks. Add vanilla sugar and sugar to the yolks, beat with a mixer and then combine with the chocolate mixture. Add a pinch of salt to the egg whites, beat until stiff and then combine with the chocolate-yolk mixture. Add the sifted flour and mix the dough thoroughly.
Step 3
Cover the mold with parchment, pour the batter into it, lay out and drown the pears in it. Bake the pie for 55 minutes at 180°. Then let it cool down a little.
Step 4
Evaporate the syrup in which the pears were cooked to half and pour it over the pie. Bon appetit!
