Mmm, soft pear topped with a creamy, crunchy topping, and under 100 calories a serving!
There are still some lovely European-grown pears to choose from – these are small Williams pears.

Prep Time

Cook Time

Total Time
25 min
Ingredients
- 2 small ripe Pears (about 100g each)
- 2 tblsp low-fat Fromage Blanc or Fromage Frais
- 2 tsp Honey
- 2 small Amaretti Cookies
Instructions
- Heat oven to 180c
- Cut the pears in half and scoop out the cores with a spoon, leaving a nice smooth hollow.
- Put the pears in an ovenproof dish.
- Fill the hollows with fromage blanc and drizzle with half the honey.
- Bake for 10 minutes, then crumble the amaretti cookies over the top.
- Bake for a further 10 minutes.
- Serve with the remaining honey drizzled over or around.
Notes
- Sometimes I add a little water to the dish before baking, to make a light sauce (could use masala wine for a treat day).
- 100 calories per serving, if you use small pears (if they are large ones, have just half a one each).
