How to Make Pear Mascarpone Custard
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly butter an 11x7 inch baking dish.
- Poach pears (optional but recommended for enhanced flavor): Simmer pear halves in 1 cup of water and 1/4 cup sugar until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain, reserving 3/4 cup of the poaching liquid.
- Score the rounded side of each pear half with shallow, crosswise cuts.
- Arrange the pears in the prepared baking dish.
- In a blender or food processor, combine the flour and granulated sugar. Blend until combined.
- Add the softened mascarpone cheese, eggs, vanilla extract, reserved pear syrup, cinnamon, and nutmeg to the blender.
- Blend until the batter is completely smooth, about 20 seconds.
- Pour the batter evenly over the arranged pears in the baking dish.
- Sprinkle the top with brown sugar.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the custard is puffy, light brown, and the center is just set (it should still have a slight jiggle).
- Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack for 5-10 minutes before serving warm.
