We couldn’t think of a better way to finish off dinner than with this combination of juicy pear, rich dark chocolate chips and an earthy crumble topping studded with pecans, all baked to sweet perfection. Don’t attempt to fight this temptation, because you may not win.
3
pear
1 packet
pecans
(Contains: Tree Nuts, May contain traces of allergens, Gluten, Sesame, Milk, Soy, Peanuts; )
1 bag
Classic Oat Mix
(Contains: Gluten, Sulphites, May contain traces of allergens, Sesame, Milk, Soy, Peanuts, Traces of Cashew, Traces of Pistachio, Almond, Traces of Walnut; )
1 packet
Dark Chocolate Chips
(Contains: Milk, Soy, Gluten, Peanuts, Sesame, Almond, Traces of Brazil Nut, Traces of Cashew, Hazelnut, Macadamia, Pecan, Traces of Pistachio, Traces of Walnut, Traces of Pine Nut, May contain traces of allergens; )
½ bottle
cream
(Contains: Milk; )
20 g
brown sugar
100 g
butter
(Contains: Milk; )

Preheat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. Cut the pear into small chunks. Roughly chop the pecans. In a medium baking dish, combine the pear, brown sugar and a drizzle of water.
TIP: For a more traditional crumble, peel the fruit before cutting into chunks.

In a heatproof bowl, place the butter and melt in the microwave. Add the classic oat mix and dark chocolate chips and stir to combine. Spread the crumble mixture evenly over the pear mixture. Bake until the topping is golden and the fruit is tender, 25-30 minutes. In the last 5 minutes of cook time, sprinkle the pecans over the crumble and bake until toasted.
TIP: The fruit is cooked when you can pierce it easily with a fork.

While the crumble is baking, place the longlife cream (see ingredients) in a large bowl and whisk with electric beaters until soft peaks form and almost doubled in size, 2-3 minutes.
TIP: If you don't have electric beaters, use a metal whisk!
TIP: For the perfect soft peaks, whip until the cream just clings to the whisk or beater when lifted!

Divide the pear and chocolate crumble between bowls. Serve with a dollop of whipped cream.
