This delicate dessert isn’t just good, it’s pear-fection. Baked pears are hollowed and filled with a dreamy pear-coconut cream, topped with a drizzle of honey and garnished with crunchy walnuts. Every bite of warm-sweet flavor and creamy-crunchy texture is like pear-adise in your mouth. All puns aside, we think you’ll find this treat and a scoop of yogurt (or ice cream) make a truly great pear.
