Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - 20 min.

Preheat oven to 150°C or 302°F, and boil a large pan of water. Put glasses in a dish or baking sheet.

Divide 600 g crème brulée mixture (cold) between glasses, to about ¼ depth. Try to pour cream directly into the bottom of each glass without touching the sides, to prevent splashes burning on during cooking.

Stage 2 - 50 min.

Put in the oven, and add hot water to the dish. Cook for about 50 minutes, until cream is just set.

Remove glasses from water and leave for 2 hours to cool to room temperature, then put in the fridge.

Stage 3 - 10 min.

Cut 12 Pears into small dice, and pour over juice of 2 lemon.

Stage 4 - 2 min.

Put 12 tablespoons maple syrup in a pan on medium heat, add the diced pears.

Stage 5 - 10 min.

Cook on medium heat until all liquid has evaporated. You can cook it a little longer if you like a caramelised flavour. Leave to cool as for the cream.

Prepare 600 g Chocolate mousse and 600 g Chantilly cream.

Stage 6 - 5 min.

Begin assembly:

Add a tablespoon of cold diced pears to each glass, to about the same depth as the bottom layer.

Stage 7 - 5 min.

On the pears, add the same depth of chocolate mousse (using a teaspoon or a forcing bag).

Stage 8 - 5 min.

On the chocolate, add a layer of whipped cream, again using a forcing bag.

Sprinkle with a pinch of cocoa powder to finish.

Remarks

This dessert can easily be prepared the day before, and be kept in the fridge until serving. Even so, I advise you to prepare and add the final layer of whipped cream the last minute if possible.

Keeping

Several hours in the fridge, covered by a plastic film.
