Ingredients for the pear (4 people):
- 4 pears (we recommend the Williams Christ variety)
- 5 tbsp Maya Kiss agave sugar
- 4 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 stick cinnamon
Ingredients for the crumble:
- 50g butter
- 75 g spelled flour
- 25 g Java Kiss coconut blossom sugar
- 1 pinch of salt
Ingredients for the cream:
- 2 stalks of lemongrass
- 1 can (165 ml) coconut milk
- 50g sugar
Preparation:
- Peel, halve and core the pears carefully. Bring 500ml water (better: pear juice), 5 tbsp Maya Kiss, 5 tbsp lemon juice and 1 stick of cinnamon to the boil in a pot.
- Add the pear halves and cook, covered, over low heat for 8 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and let the pears cool to room temperature.
- Clean and wash the lemongrass, soften it with the back of a knife and cut it into pieces. Bring the pieces to the boil together with coconut milk and sugar, remove from the heat and let steep for 3-4 minutes.
- Strain the lukewarm coconut milk through a sieve into a bowl, cool and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
- For the crumble, melt the butter, then add the flour, coconut blossom sugar and a little salt and stir with a wooden spoon until finely crumbled and crispy-brown.
- Arrange the pears on a plate of coconut milk and sprinkle with the crumble.
- Done - enjoy your meal!
