šŸHere’s a surprisingly easy dessert that happens to be low in added sugars.


Poached Pears with Dark Chocolate Drizzle

(serves 4)


ā— 4 ripe pears (use a firm variety like Bosc)

ā— ¾ cup (180 ml) unsweetened apple juice

ā— ½ cup (140 ml) red wine

ā— 3 cinnamon sticks


Spiced Chocolate Sauce

ā— 2 oz (48 g) dark chocolate, roughly chopped

ā— ½ tsp pumpkin pie spice mix


Poach the pears: Peel the pears then cut them in half lengthwise, then remove their cores. Place them cut side down in a saute pan. Pour in the apple juice, wine, and cinnamon sticks.


Place the pan on medium-high heat and bring the liquid to a simmer. Cover and let cook for 5-7 minutes, until cooked through but firm – poke them with a fork to test.


Flip the pears over and cook another 1-2 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove the pears from the pan and onto serving plates.


Place the chocolate and spices in a microwave-safe bowl and place in a microwave. Heat until smooth, stirring every 30 seconds, until melted. Drizzle over the pears to serve. YUM.
