Warm Pears with Brandy Cream

Plan Z Phase: This is a Z3 (ZReboot) recipe. This is not a large dessert but it’s so decadent that you don’t need a large portion.

Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients:

• 4 fresh, ripe pears
• 1 Tbl butter
• juice from half of a small lemon
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 packets of stevia
• 2 oz of brandy
• 1 cup of whipping cream
• 2 tsp of tiny chocolate chips

Instructions:

Peel pears and cut into wedges. In a saute pan, melt the butter and add the pears. Add the lemon juice and toss the pears on medium high heat for 3 minutes. Add the stevia and vanilla. Turn heat to medium and cook until pears are tender but not falling apart.

Remove the pears and keep them warm in the oven in a heat proof container.

Add brandy and cream to the juices in the pear saute pan.Cook on medium high just to get the cream bubbling lightly. Stir often and watch for the cream to begin to thicken. That’s when you know it’s ready to serve.

Serve pears with the brandy cream and sprinkle on just a few tiny chocolate chips. The chips will soften into a dreamy mass in the hot cream.

This is not a large dessert but it’s so decadent that you don’t need a large portion. Each person gets one full pear and a spoonful or two of the sauce.

Enjoy!

Cheers,
