Ingredients

For the pears:
4 pears
½ TSP cinnamon
2 TSP honey

For the filling:
500 g mascarpone cheese
250 g cream cheese
200 ml double cream
2 TBSP powder sugar
1 TSP vanilla extract

For the topping:
Handful of pistachios
2 TSP honey

Instructions

For the filling, combine mascarpone cheese, cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla paste, mixing until smooth.

In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream, then gently fold it into the mascarpone mixture. Cover with cling film and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.

Cut the pears in half and remove the core using a small spoon. If the pear is ripe, it should come out easily.

Place the pear halves on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle with honey and sprinkle with cinnamon.

Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 40-45 minutes.

Remove the pears from the oven and let cool to nearly room temperature. Once cooled, transfer to serving plates and fill them with mascarpone. The easiest way to do this is by using an ice cream scoop.

Drizzle with honey and top with chopped pistachios.
