Ingredients

  • 5-6 pears, about 1kg in total
  • a generous pinch of ground ginger
  • 1 tbsp light brown soft sugar
For the topping:
  • 50g plain flour
  • 25g ground almonds
  • 3 tbsp demerara sugar, plus extra for sprinkling
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 4 tbsp natural yogurt
  • 50g butter, melted
  • 75-100g dark ginger chocolate (50% cocoa solids), roughly chopped
  • 2 tbsp flaked almonds, for sprinkling

Step by step

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C, fan 160°C, gas 4. For the cobbler topping, mix together the flour, ground almonds, demerara sugar, baking powder and a pinch of salt. Whisk in the yogurt and melted butter.

  2. Peel and core the pears, then slice them thickly lengthways. Arrange the slices in a 20-24cm round or square ovenproof dish, toss with the ground ginger, brown sugar and 2 tablespoons of water.

  3. Stir the chopped chocolate into the cobbler mixture, then dollop evenly over the pears.

    Tip

    Serve this comforting pudding with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, or make a simple ginger Chantilly cream – see our step-by-step video for the recipe.

  4. Sprinkle with the flaked almonds and extra demerara sugar. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until lightly golden. Serve warm.
