  • 1/2 l dry white wine
  • 150 g Sugar
  • 4 (approx. 700 g) ripe, firm pears
  • 100 g Dark chocolate
  • 150 ml Whipped cream
  • 4 (approx. 280 g) scoops of vanilla ice cream

Directions

  1. 1

    Wash the lemon hot, rub dry and peel the peel thinly. Halve the lemon and squeeze the juice. Bring 1/2 litre water, white wine, sugar, lemon juice and peel to the boil in a large pot. In the meantime peel and halve the pears. Remove flowers and cut out the core with a ball cutter. Put the pear halves into the boiling broth, cover and cook over medium heat for 15-20 minutes. Let the pears cool down in the stock.

    Break chocolate into pieces or chop roughly. Heat the cream in a saucepan, turn off the heat and melt the chocolate in the hot cream while stirring. Lift the pears out of the stock and let them drain. Form 4 large vanilla ice cream scoops with an ice cream scoop and arrange each with 2 pear halves on 4 plates. Spread some hot chocolate sauce over them and serve immediately. Add the rest of the sauce extra
