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