How to Make Coffee Pears With Chocolate Sauce
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Peel, core, and halve the pears.
- Place pear halves in a greased casserole dish.
- In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup water, 2 tablespoons Splenda, and 2 tablespoons instant coffee granules.
- Stir until the Splenda and coffee are completely dissolved.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, then simmer for 5-7 minutes.
- Pour the coffee mixture evenly over the pears in the casserole dish.
- Bake for 40 minutes, or until the pears are tender.
- While the pears are baking, prepare the chocolate sauce.
- In a small saucepan, combine the reserved coffee mixture from the casserole dish (about 1/4 cup), 4 ounces chopped semi-sweet chocolate, and 2 tablespoons heavy cream.
- Heat over low heat, stirring frequently, until the chocolate is melted and the sauce is smooth.
- Stir in 2 teaspoons of instant coffee dissolved in 1 tablespoon of boiling water.
- Remove the pears from the oven and place them on a warm plate. Cover to keep warm.
- Drizzle the chocolate sauce generously over the pears.
- Garnish with fresh mint leaves (optional).
- Serve warm and enjoy!
