Ingredients
To make the crumble in a food processor, place all the ingredients - except the chocolate - in the bowl and pulse until just combined. Then stir in the chocolate. Make the crumble topping the day before and placed in the fridge until ready to cook.
- 1kg (4-5) ripe pears, peeled, cored and chopped into 1cm pieces
- Grated zest and juice of 1 unwaxed lemon
- 100g milk chocolate, roughly chopped
- 50g light brown soft sugar
- 100g plain flour
- 50g butter, chilled and diced
- 50g light brown soft sugar
- ½ x 100g pack roasted chopped hazelnuts
Method
- Preheat the oven to 180°C, gas mark 4. Grease 6 x 250ml ovenproof teacups or ramekins. (Don't use your finest china cups.) In a medium bowl, mix together the pears, brown sugar, lemon zest and juice, and half the chocolate. Divide the mixture between the teacups or ramekins, spooning over any juice.
- To make the crumble, place the flour and butter in a medium bowl and, with your fingertips, rub together until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Stir in the sugar, hazelnuts and remaining chocolate.
- Spoon the crumble over the pears and press down lightly. Place the crumbles on a baking tray and bake for 35-40 minutes until golden and bubbling. Serve with a spoonful of Madagascan vanilla ice cream.
