Ingredients

4 servings

For the poached pears

2 cups water
2 tbsp maple syrup
½ tsp vanilla extract
2 ripe but firm pears, peeled, halved, and cored

For the vanilla cream

1 cup fresh ricotta
2 tbsp maple syrup
1 tsp vanilla extract

For serving

1 tbsp fresh mint leaves, torn (optional)

Instructions

1
Combine the water, 2 tbsp maple syrup, and 1/2 tsp vanilla extract in a medium saucepan and bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring until the maple syrup dissolves.
2
Add the pear halves cut-side down to the simmering liquid. Cook for 10–14 minutes, turning once halfway through, until a paring knife slides into the thickest part with no resistance and the pears are tender throughout.
