But there are a few more cold nights on the cards so here's a hearty, chocolately dessert that will not only warm you up and fill you up but use up the last of the winter pears. Handy.
Recipe:
Pudding
2 pears - peeled and sliced
100g butter
3/4 brown sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
1 1/2 cups plain flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
Sauce
2 cups boiling water
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup cocoa
1 tablespoon cornflour
Preheat oven to 180deg C. Grease ovenproof dish and line with sliced pear.
Cream butter, add sugar, egg and vanilla.
Fold in mixed flour, baking powder and cocoa. When mixed place in dish over the pear - spread evenly.
Mix the second amount of sugar with the cocoa and cornflour and sprinkle evenly over the top. Using the underside of a large spoon, pour the boiling water over the top.
Place in oven and bake for 35mins.
When baked, dust with icing sugar and serve. Eat while hot!

drool!
am sighing over the delish dish - and spy a couple pears that need dealing with - oooo yeh. Thanks x
I've just made this using your recipe! I found the mixture to be too thick to spread onto the pears, so I added and an extra egg. I also didn't have any cornflour so the sauce wasn't very thick but it was still absolutely delicious and my kids and husband LOVED it! The sauce thickened by itself as the pudding cooled and as it got absorbed into the bottom of the pudding. I used fresh pears, not tinned and I'm going to make it again but with peaches next time. Thank You - it was awesome x
Oh you are welcome Anonymous. I love when people actually try out the recipe. Thanks so much for the feedback! :)
