Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 Fresh pears
- 6 Fresh figs
- 120 grams Cream cheese
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 50 grams Chopped walnuts
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Butter
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and lightly grease a baking dish with butter.
Wash the pears and slice them in half lengthwise. Use a spoon to carefully scoop out the cores to create a small hollow in each half.
In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, honey, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and well combined.
Chop the figs finely and fold them into the cream cheese mixture.
Fill each pear hollow with a generous scoop of the cream cheese mixture.
Sprinkle the chopped walnuts evenly over the cream cheese filling.
Place the stuffed pear halves into the prepared baking dish and dot the tops lightly with butter.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pears are tender and the topping is golden and slightly caramelized.
Let the pears cool for a few minutes before serving. Drizzle with additional honey for extra sweetness, if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy the delightful combination of flavors and textures!
