- 5-6 pears, about 1kg in total
- a generous pinch of ground ginger
- 1 tbsp light brown soft sugar
For the topping:
- 50g plain flour
- 25g ground almonds
- 3 tbsp demerara sugar, plus extra for sprinkling
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 4 tbsp natural yogurt
- 50g butter, melted
- 75-100g dark ginger chocolate (50% cocoa solids), roughly chopped
- 2 tbsp flaked almonds, for sprinkling
Step by step
Preheat the oven to 180°C, fan 160°C, gas 4. For the cobbler topping, mix together the flour, ground almonds, demerara sugar, baking powder and a pinch of salt. Whisk in the yogurt and melted butter.
Peel and core the pears, then slice them thickly lengthways. Arrange the slices in a 20-24cm round or square ovenproof dish, toss with the ground ginger, brown sugar and 2 tablespoons of water.
Stir the chopped chocolate into the cobbler mixture, then dollop evenly over the pears.
