Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium (ripe but firm, sliced) Pear
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 2 cups Granola
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 2 teaspoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Salt
Instructions
In a small mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream using a hand mixer or whisk until soft peaks form.
Gently fold in the Greek yogurt, powdered sugar, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until well combined. Set the lemon cream aside in the refrigerator to chill.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and melt the butter.
Add the pear slices to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and lightly caramelized.
Drizzle the honey over the pears during the last minute of cooking and toss to coat evenly. Remove the skillet from heat.
In serving bowls or glasses, layer the granola, lemon cream, and caramelized pears. Start with granola at the bottom, followed by a layer of lemon cream, and then the pears. Repeat the layers if desired.
Sprinkle a pinch of salt over the assembled dessert to enhance the flavors.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
