Dessert in a glass Pear-caramel
A delicious dessert with the goodness of juicy pears; a touch of late summer in a glass.
Preparation
- Prepare all your ingredients.
- Put the mascarpone in a mixing bowl and beat it until light and fluffy with the sugar.
- In the other bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff. Add this to the beaten mascarpone and mix gently so that it remains light and fluffy.
- Chop the hazelnuts and candied biscuits and place them in two separate bowls for later use.
- Wash the pears and cut them into small pieces. Put the sugar together with the pears in a saucepan and place it on a low heat source. The sugar will slowly melt in the moisture that comes out of the pears. Stir occasionally. As soon as this turns a beautiful golden brown/caramel color, the pan can be removed from the heat source.
- In the meantime, you make the caramel sauce in the other 2 small pans. In pan 1, you put the water and the sugar. Place this pan on a low heat source; you do not need to stir it.
- In the other small pan, you put the heavy cream. Heat this slowly without letting it boil.
- As soon as the pan with sugar and water has completely melted, you need to pay close attention. Your sugar water will change color to caramel. You can now decide how dark you want to make the caramel. Once you have reached the color you want, carefully add the warm cream. BE CAREFUL of splashes! Stir this well and also add the butter. Let it cool to room temperature and it is ready to use.
- Now we assemble the glasses; you can, of course, decide the order yourself.
- Pieces of candied biscuit
- Chopped hazelnut
- caramel sauce
- Mascarpone cream
- Pear
- And repeat
- As a final touch, we decorated with a few more nuts, caramel sauce and a nice slice of pear. (for this you will need an extra pear)
