Ingredients

• 1 strong pear
• 1 tsp butter
• 2 teaspoons of sugar
• cinnamon stick
• chocolate glaze
• 1 strong pear
• 1 tsp butter
• ½ tsp ground cinnamon
• 1 tbsp. Sahara
• 20 ml white wine
• 165 g dark chocolate
• 60 ml cream with 20% fat
• 1 small cinnamon stick
• 3 egg whites

Cooking

Step 1

Peel and core the pear and cut into cubes of about 7 cm. The pear should become soft, but not lose its shape. Transfer to a plate, cool.

Step 2

Pour the cream into a saucepan, add the chopped cinnamon stick and bring to a boil. Remove from stove and let steep 10 minutes. Strain and heat the cream again.

Step 3

Finely chop or chop the chocolate, pour over hot cream and stir with a whisk until a homogeneous glossy mass. Cool to room temperature.

Step 4

Beat egg whites until stiff, adding sugar in two batches. Stir 1/3 of the egg whites into the chocolate, then the remaining egg whites and the pear cubes. Divide the mousse among 4 bowls or glasses and refrigerate for 2 hours.

Step 5

Before serving, peel the pear and cut into 8 pieces. Melt the butter in a frying pan, put the pear slices and sprinkle with sugar. Caramelize the pear for 2-3 minutes. Cool slightly and put on mousse. Drizzle with chocolate icing and garnish with a broken cinnamon stick.
