Tips for making dessert from baked pears

• Pears are picked green and ripen after being detached from the tree. If you bought them still unripe, put them in a punctured paper bag and leave it at room temperature until the fruit ripens, becomes fragrant and slightly softens. You can also put a banana or apple in the bag to speed up the process. Do not choose fruits that are too soft, but ones that are hard to the touch and do not have bruises, so as not to delay the dessert when baked.
• Use juicy fruits like apples to make dessert if you don't have pears at the moment or it's not their season. Sprinkle with cinnamon, which is not only useful, but can also give you a warm feeling of approaching autumn.
• Serve the baked pears with fresh strawberries or other berries of your choice.
• If you want to impress your guests or loved ones, caramelize sugar and make a figurine that you place on the ice cream ball.
• Add a few tablespoons of homemade blueberry jam or other to the ice cream and enjoy an even tastier dessert.
• If you like almonds, hazelnuts or other nuts, replace walnuts with them. For a more pleasant aroma, you can bake them until golden for a few minutes, then crush them and sprinkle on the dessert. For more sweetness, pour honey.
• You can peel the pears before baking them, as the peel remains firm. If you want to preserve the integrity of the fruit, it is better to bake it with the peel.
