Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pcs ripe pears
- 3 pcs large eggs
- 80 g granulated sugar
- 50 g all-purpose flour
- 250 ml whole milk
- 100 ml heavy cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter (for greasing)
- 1 tbsp powdered sugar (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a 9-inch (23 cm) round baking dish with 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter and set aside.
Peel the pears, core them, and slice them into thin wedges. Arrange the slices evenly in the prepared baking dish.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and granulated sugar until the mixture is pale and slightly frothy.
Add the flour to the egg mixture and whisk until fully combined and smooth.
Gradually pour in the milk and heavy cream while whisking continuously. Add the vanilla extract and mix until well incorporated.
Carefully pour the custard mixture over the pears in the baking dish, ensuring the pears remain evenly distributed.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the custard is set and lightly golden around the edges. A knife inserted into the center should come out clean.
Remove the dish from the oven and allow the custard to cool slightly before serving. For a cooler dessert, refrigerate it for at least 1 hour.
Dust the top with powdered sugar before serving, if desired. Enjoy your Pear Custard warm or chilled!
