This was really good! Hard to find good dessert recipes with pears!

So yummy, and a great way to use up all of those pears (the kids said they would eat) before they go bad.

Delicious - certainly 5 star especially with cream. I used almonds and fresh diced pears and it was so easy and made a generous amount.
