How to Make Caramelized Pears With Dulce De Leche Ice Cream

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Halve and core 4 ripe but firm pears.
  3. In a large bowl, toss the pear halves with 2 tablespoons lemon juice and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. Melt 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat.
  5. Add 1/2 cup granulated sugar to the melted butter.
  6. Gently shake the skillet to evenly distribute the sugar.
  7. Arrange the pear halves, cut-side down, in the skillet.
  8. Drizzle any remaining lemon juice mixture from the bowl over the pears.
  9. Cook, shaking the pan often, until the sugar begins to dissolve and the mixture bubbles all over (about 5 minutes).
  10. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.
  11. Bake until the pears are soft and the juices are a rich golden color (about 15 minutes).
  12. Serve the warm caramelized pears with their juices and a scoop of dulce de leche ice cream.
