Pears with ice cream and hot chocolate sauce

4 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1 200 gram bar plain chocolate
50 grams Unsalted butter
2 tablespoons Light muscovado sugar
2 tablespoons Golden syrup
150 millilitres Double cream
50 grams Blanched hazelnuts
1 400 gram can pear halves in natural juice; drained
1 500 millilit vanilla ice cream; (good quality)

Directions

1 Heat a small frying pan. Break up the chocolate into squares and place in a small pan with the butter, sugar, golden syrup and cream. Cook over a low heat, stirring occasionally until smooth and shiny.

2 Roughly chop the hazelnuts and add to the heated frying pan. Cook for a minute or so until toasted, tossing occasionally. Slice up the pears.

3 Scoop out two balls of ice cream from the tub (Brian only does one) and arrange in a glass serving dish with some pear slices. Pour over some sauce and scatter the nuts on top to serve.

TIP This chocolate sauce works well as a fondue. Dip in chunks of fresh fruit ie melon, strawberries, pineapple, mango and marshmallows (pierced onto skewers or cocktail sticks).
