About this recipe
Pear cocoa crumble is a dessert of tender pears baked beneath a crisp cocoa topping made with flour, sugar, and plant-based butter. The pears become sweet and juicy as they bake, while cocoa gives the crumble a deeper flavor. The plant-based butter binds the ingredients into crumbs that brown in the oven. Cut the pears into distinct pieces so they do not disappear beneath the topping.
Ingredients
4 pears
120 g all-purpose flour
80 g block-style plant-based baking fat, 80% fat
1 tablespoon cocoa powder
40 g sugar
Steps
Wash the pears, peel if you prefer, remove the cores and cut into evenly sized dice. Preheat the oven to 180°C with top and bottom heat.
Spread the pears in an ovenproof dish about 20 × 20 cm. Level the layer so there is no tall mound of fruit in the center that would take longer to bake.
Mix the flour, sugar and cocoa, working out dry powder lumps. Add the cold plant-based baking fat and quickly rub in with your fingertips to make uneven crumbs. Do not knead into a smooth dough.
Scatter the crumble loosely over the fruit and bake on the middle rack for 25–35 minutes. The pears should be tender when pierced, the juice should bubble around the edges and the topping should be dry and crumbly. With dark cocoa, judge the texture as well as the color.
After removing from the oven, let the dessert cool briefly until the juice thickens a little. Spoon through both layers to serve, keeping some crumble on top of each portion.
