How do you serve this baked pears recipe?
I love to serve this dessert like in the pictures. Cut lengthwise with the flesh side up. They are rustic and beautiful on their own!
However you can dice the pears instead and bake them in tiny ramekins. That’s better if you want to serve them for kids that will love eating them with their hands.
What do you serve with baked pears?
Baked pears are amazing on their own! Thanks to the baking time they get infused with all the cinnamon and honey flavors will slightly caramelizing on top. Oh, my! The pecans also give them that little crunch that makes it more interesting. Needless to say I love to serve them as is. Nothing extra added.
However here are a couple of delicious pairing:
- Yogurt: Perfect if you are serving them in the morning for breakfast.
- Ice cream: A scoop of vanilla ice cream over warm pears is just amazing!
- Chocolate syrup: Probably the most indulgent topping idea a drizzle of chocolate syrup and a sprinkle of sea salt go amazing with the soft and sweet honey baked pears.
