Honey Roasted Forelle Pears with Ginger Mascarpone Cream

Start by preheating your oven to 350F.

Keep the pears whole, and take out the core. Place them into an oven safe dish and drizzle with honey. Bake in the oven for approximately 20 minutes. Forelle pears are small, it shouldn’t take long for them to soften. If you are using bigger pears, then leave them in until when you squeeze them they feel soft.

While the pears are baking, make the mascarpone cream. Into a mixer with the whip attachment place the mascarpone cheese and cream cheese. Whip this until smooth. Add in the ginger and powdered sugar and whip again. Scrape down the bowl, and then turn onto medium speed. While the machine is on, pour in the heavy cream. You will notice the mixture soften and become lighter in texture. That means it’s done.

When the pears are cool, you can either pipe the cream into the pears; just scoop it onto the side. Or… here at my house we cut up the pear, crumble a “Lassy Mog” (for the recipe, type “Lassy Mog” into the search bar here at TastyKitchen) and top it with the mascarpone cream. However you decide to partake… Enjoy!
