Perfect pear & chocolate dessert



We’re going to make a very delicious winter chocolate & pear dessert. It’s a whiskey & chocolate cream with a dulcey de leche cremeux, chocolate feulletine, a pear & cardamom sorbet and a beautiful caramelized pear & whiskey gel.




The dulce de leche


Submerge a can of condensed milk in a pan filled with water and bring this to a boil for 3 hours. We do this to caramelize the condensed milk. If necessary add more water to insure it stays submerged. After the three hours gently take the can out of the water and let it cool down. Don’t open the can before it has cooled down completely, otherwise the pressure will be too high and it will spray out. After, you can open it and keep it in your fridge for later.



The pear and cardamom sorbet

900 grams

pear juice

120 grams

glucose

180 grams

sugar

10 pieces

cardamom

4 grams

sorbet stabilizer (or 2 grams xanthin gum)

Pour 400 grams of pear juice into a saucepan together with the glucose, the sugar and the cardamom seeds. Now bring this to a bowl for 1 minute. Then pour it into a bowl, add 4 grams of sorbet stabilizer or 2 grams of xanthan gum. Blend this for a minute. Then add 500 grams of pear juice and mix it. After let it set overnight in your fridge. The next day you can pass it through a fine sieve into an ice cream machine and turn it into a beautiful sorbet. Then keep it in your freezer for later.

First peel the pears. Then cut them in half and use a pommes parisienne to remove the core and use a small knife to remove the stem. Now pour the water into a big pan together with the sugar. Then cut a vanilla pod in half, scrape out the seeds and add them to the pan together with the cinnamon stick and the cardamom seeds. Now also add the cleaned pears flat side down and turn on the heat to caramelize the sugar till golden brown. Turn the pears every now and then. Once caramelized deglaze the pan with the pear juice and let it simmer on a low heat for around 1 hour. Add some parchment paper to ensure the juice doesn’t vaporize to quickly and it will burn. It’s going to take some time, but you’ll end up with some beautifully cooked pears. Then remove the spices and transfer the pears into a saucepan. In total they weigh 300 grams. Now also add the whiskey and the agar powder. Then blend it till completely smooth. After that while mixing bring it to a boil for 1 minute. Now when it has boiled pour it into a bowl and let it cool down in your fridge. Then transfer it into a blender and blend it till smooth. Once smooth transfer it into a piping bottle and keep it in your fridge for later.
