For the pear layer
- 3 medium ripe pears, peeled, cored, and cut into ½-inch dice

Ingredient noteInterstitial cystitis treats warming spices like ginger as test-your-tolerance because they can irritate a sensitive bladder, but the small amount in this recipe (~3/4 tsp per serving) is likely tolerated by many. If you prefer to always avoid fresh ginger, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- ¼ tsp ground ceylon cinnamon
Ingredient noteTrue ceylon cinnamon is generally considered bladder-friendly, and the small amount in this recipe (~1/8 tsp per serving) is likely fine for many people with interstitial cystitis. If you prefer to always avoid true ceylon cinnamon, please tap it and change its rating to Red.

Instructions

Combine the diced pears, 1 tbsp grated ginger, 1 tbsp maple syrup, 1/4 tsp Ceylon cinnamon, and 1 tbsp water in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the pears are just tender and the liquid has reduced to a light syrup, about 8–10 minutes. Remove from heat and divide the pear mixture evenly among four 6-oz ramekins or cups.

In a small bowl, whisk together the arrowroot starch and 3 tbsp of the coconut milk until completely smooth with no lumps.
