Ingredients

Sweet Pear and Gingerbread Treats:

8 pears
12 slices of gingerbread + 4 for decoration
4 tbsp of honey
3 eggs
25 cl (1.1 cups) of milk
25 cl (1.1 cups) of cream
100 g (3.5 oz) of sugar

Step-by-step directions

1 wash, peel the pears, cut them in half, remove the seeds, cut them into slices that are not too thin

2 in 4 small clafoutis molds (I used ceramic molds), arrange 3 slices of gingerbread with trimmed edges

3 nicely arrange the pear slices in a fan shape

4 add 1 tbsp of honey to each ramekin

5 prepare the custard by mixing the eggs and sugar, add the cream and milk, mix everything and pour this custard over the pears

6 place in the oven and cook for approximately 30 to 35 minutes in the oven preheated to 180°C (355°F)

7 let them cool

8 cut the last 4 slices of gingerbread into 4 pieces lengthwise

9 decorate with gingerbread sticks and enjoy these clafoutis with ice cream or sorbet of your choice
Try with apples or fresh figs in season or grapes.

Chef Patrick's Comment

Excellent recipe although a bit sweet, to make gingerbread sticks, pass your slices under the broiler in the oven and then cut them while still hot into finger shapes.
