🍫 Ingredients You’ll Need

4 just-ripe pears
3 tbsp vegan butter
1 lemon, zested
¼ tsp salt
2 tsp cinnamon powder
2 tbsp maple syrup or honey

2 tbsp minced ginger
½ tsp salt

👩🍳 How to Make Ginger Roasted Pears

Step 1: Roast the Pears

Preheat oven to 400°F. Core each pear and place them upright in a heatproof baking dish. If they won’t stand on their own, slice a small section off the bottom to make a flat base. Roast for 30 minutes.

Step 2: Make the Glaze

While pears roast, melt vegan butter in a small pot over medium-low heat. Add lemon zest, salt, cinnamon, and maple syrup (or honey). Stir until melted and well blended.

Step 3: Glaze the Pears

Remove pears from the oven and brush generously with the glaze. Set some glaze aside if you’d like extra for plating. Return the pears to the oven and roast another 15 minutes, reglazing halfway through. Continue roasting until soft and golden.

Step 4: Prepare the Chocolate Ginger Ganache

In a small saucepan, heat coconut milk, minced ginger, salt, and cinnamon until just simmering. Pour over Pascha 70% Cacao Dark Chocolate Chips in a heatproof bowl. Let sit for 30 seconds, then whisk until smooth and glossy.

Step 5: Assemble & Serve

Place each pear on a plate with a generous spoonful of chocolate ganache. Drizzle with remaining glaze, then sprinkle with hemp seeds and a touch of lemon zest. Serve warm and enjoy!

🍯 Recipe Tips & Variations

Use Bosc or Anjou pears for best texture — they hold their shape beautifully when roasted.
Substitute coconut cream for a richer ganache.
Add a touch of cayenne to the ganache for a warm spice kick.
Top with crushed nuts or cacao nibs for added crunch.
