Pear Brownies
Description
Pears are prepared by cutting from the bottom to remove seeds, then the baking dish is buttered to prevent sticking. Butter, sugar, cocoa powder, and water are heated to create a smooth, thin chocolate mixture that cools to room temperature before combining with egg yolks and cream. Flour is stirred in gently to maintain lightness.
Egg whites are whipped with salt to stiff peaks and folded carefully into the chocolate batter, preserving air for a lighter texture. The pears add moisture and mild sweetness, balancing the cocoa. The brownies bake about 30 minutes, resulting in a delicate, airy brown cake rather than a dense brownie.
This dessert is well suited for those seeking a textured chocolate treat softened with fresh fruit, ideal for serving at room temperature.
Ingredients
- 1/2 kg pear small
- 7 egg large
- 100 g butter
- 100 ml water
- 50 ml heavy whipping cream
- 80 g cocoa powder
- 150 g sugar
- 120 g flour
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- salt a pinch
Instructions
- Wash the pears and remove the seeds cutting the fruit from the bottom. Grease the baking tray well with butter.
- Put the water, butter, sugar, and cocoa powder over medium heat in a small saucepan. Allow the mixture to heat up and combine without boiling. The butter should be completely melted and the cocoa powder incorporated. It will turn into a slightly thin cream. Refrigerate until it gets to room temperature.
- Separate the yolks from the egg whites. Incorporate the yolks into the chocolate cream, one at a time. Stir well after adding each one. Add the heavy whipping cream, then incorporate the flour stirring gently until smooth.
- Whip the egg whites with a pinch of salt until they turn into a firm foam. Gently fold the egg white foam into the chocolate cream, using upward movements. It is best to incorporate the egg whites in batches, to make the mixture more fluid and not lose too much volume.
- Bake the cake for no more than 30 minutes. It will be a slightly airy brownie with an intense chocolate taste and slight moisture from the juicy pears.
- Leave the brownie to cool in the tray. Serve at room temperature, sharing with your loved ones. Enjoy!
