Step by step recipe


Stage 1 - ⌛ 15 min.
Pear sorbet : Stage 1
Peel pears, and put them immediately into cold water with the juice of half a lemon, or a pinch of vitamin C added.

We do that because peeled pears turn brown quickly.

Stage 2 - ⌛ 5 min.
Pear sorbet : Stage 2
Drain pears, cut into quarters and discard core.

Stage 3 - ⌛ 5 min.
Pear sorbet : Stage 3
Cut quarters into small pieces and put in the goblet of a blender.

Add juice of half a lemon, a pinch of vitamin C, 1 tablespoon pear eau-de-vie and 350 ml sugar syrup.

Stage 4 - ⌛ 3 min.
Pear sorbet : Stage 4
Mix until you obtain a smooth puree.

Put in the fridge, or freezer, in a sealed container if not to be used immediately.

We do that so that the mixture is very cold before putting in the ice cream maker.

Stage 5 - ⌛ 1 min.
Pear sorbet : Stage 5
Pour into the ice-cream maker.

Stage 6 - ⌛ 25 min.
Pear sorbet : Stage 6
And churn the sorbet.

Stage 7
Pear sorbet : Stage 7
Serve on its own or as the basis for other desserts.

Crème brulée
Crème brulée
Crème brûlée (burned cream) is quite easy to prepare: it's a simple egg-cream dessert. The only difficulty is in making the delicious crunchy caramel layer on top. The perfect crème brulée (for me) is a cold and soft cream, with on top a nice hot caramel crust. This is a completely new version of the former recipe, with video.
