250 g Whipped cream
1 package (200 g) chocolate-peppermint bars
650 g Pears
2 TABLESPOONS Sugar
1 piece(s) Lemon peel
1 Cinnamon stick
2 TABLESPOONS Cornstarch
7-10 Tbsp Mint and chocolate flakes

Directions

1
Heat the cream. Add chocolate mint bars (4 pieces are kept for decoration) and let them melt while stirring. Do not bring to the boil! Mint cream is best left to cool overnight. For the compote, wash, peel and quarter the pears. Remove the core and cut the flesh into cubes. Boil pears, 200 ml water, sugar, lemon peel and cinnamon.
2
Stir starch with a little cold water until smooth and add to the compote. Bring to the boil again and cook at low heat for about 15 minutes. Stir several times. Let the compote cool down, remove lemon peel and cinnamon. Whip the mint cream until creamy with the whisks of the hand mixer. Layer mint cream and compote in four dessert glasses. Decorate with halved chocolate mint bars, mint and chocolate shavings
