How to Make Chocolate Ginger Roasted Pears
- Roast the pears. Preheat oven to 400°F. Core pears and place upright in a baking dish. Roast for 30 minutes.
- Make the glaze. Melt vegan butter, then stir in lemon zest, salt, cinnamon, and maple syrup.
- Glaze and roast again. Brush pears with glaze and return to oven for another 15 minutes, reglazing halfway through.
- Prepare the ganache. Heat coconut milk with ginger, salt, and cinnamon until just simmering. Pour over Pascha chocolate chips and whisk until smooth.
- Assemble. Plate pears, spoon over chocolate ganache, drizzle extra glaze, and finish with hemp seeds and lemon zest.
- Serve warm. Enjoy immediately for best flavor and texture.
Tips for the Best Roasted Pears
- Use firm pears like Bosc or Anjou so they hold their shape
- Roast until tender but not mushy
- Re-glaze during baking for deeper flavor
- Serve warm for best texture and taste
- Use high-quality chocolate for a smooth ganache
Easy Variations to Try
- Add a pinch of cayenne to the ganache for a subtle kick
