PEARS BELLE HELENE
 

 
INGREDIENTS

8 ripe pears peeled but leave stems
150 gr. sugar
500 ml. dry red wine
A pinch of vanilla
110 gr. corn flour
200 ml. water
300 gr. chocolate extra dark
80 ml. sun flower oil
Some milk

PREPARATION

Boil the wine with the sugar. When the mixture starts getting hot add the pears, standing up, cover to cook and test with fork. When they are ready place on a rack and put in the refrigerator until very cold. Mix the corn flour with water and add to the boiled wine and stir to thicken the sauce. Pour over the pears on the rack and put back in the refrigerator until very icy.

Melt the chocolate in a bain-marie. Add the sunflower oil and slowly, some milk stirring until you get a very thick sauce. Pour chocolate sauce over icy pears.

Serve with ice cream or a 'strong' chocolate cake.

Good Luck!
