Ingredients

  • 2 piece Pear, fresh

  • 80 g Sugar, white

  • 2 spoons Juice, lemon

  • 1 piece Spices, cinnamon, ground

  • 4 pieces Gelatin powder, unsweetened

  • 250 ml Milk, whole milk

  • 0.5 piece Vanilla, extract, natural

  • 3 pieces Egg, egg yolk, fresh

  • 150 ml Sweet cream

  • pieces Spices, cinnamon, ground

  • pieces Caraway, fresh

Steps

  1. Peel the pears, cut them in half, and remove the cores. Add about 4 dl of water, lemon juice, a cinnamon stick, and 30 g of sugar to a pot. Place the pot on the stove and wait for the liquid to boil. Then add the pear halves to the pot and cover it. Simmer the pears over moderate heat for about 15 minutes or until they soften.

  2. Remove the softened pears from the pot with a spoon. In a bowl, blend them with a hand mixer into a smooth puree. Soak the gelatin leaves in cold water. Split the vanilla pod lengthwise and scrape out the seeds with the tip of a knife. Add the pod to the pot along with the milk. Wait for the milk to heat up, then remove the pot from the heat and let the milk cool slightly. Remove the vanilla pod from the milk.

  3. In a water bath (see advice), whisk the egg yolks, vanilla seeds, and remaining sugar until frothy. Mix the milk into the egg yolk cream and continue whisking until the cream thickens slightly.

  4. Squeeze the gelatin well and dissolve it in a small pot while constantly stirring. Be careful not to let the gelatin boil! Mix the dissolved gelatin into the egg yolk cream. Then mix the pear puree into the cream.

  5. Whip the cream with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form and fold it into the pear mixture as soon as it begins to set. Distribute the cream into small glasses and refrigerate for about 3 hours to set.

  6. Serve the chilled dessert. Optionally, sprinkle a little ground cinnamon on top and garnish with star anise.

Advice

A water bath is used for melting and dissolving delicate foods and ingredients or for frothy mixing (especially for preparing various sauces and creams). Place a heatproof container with ingredients on top of another container with hot water and whisk the ingredients in the upper container until they thicken and froth. The water in the lower container should not boil vigorously!
