Here we have #3 idea for combining pumpkin and chocolate. So there isn’t any actual pumpkin in this one, but we do have pumpkin spice! This is a super fun twist on your basic dark chocolate. Husband loved it. The spiced chocolate works well with the sweet, juicy pear and the toasted pecans provide a nutty crunch. Really fun and easy dessert. Also a great idea for a party.
Stayed tuned for the final pumpkin + chocolate recipe next week (just in time for Thanksgiving):
chocolate pumpkin coconut ice cream!!
Ingredients
2-3 ripe organic pears (soft to touch but not mushy)
1 bar of the best chocolate on the planet
1 teaspoon pumpkin spice mix (or to taste)
1 cup chopped pecans, lightly toasted
How To
*Wash and dry your beautiful pears
*Heat chocolate bar on low over double boiler (if you don’t have one, it’s pretty easy to fashion a makeshift version with your everyday pots and saute pans)
*Add pumpkin spice mix to melted chocolate, stir and remove from heat
*Drizzle chocolate over half of pear
*Sprinkle on toasted pecans
*Set on cookie cooling rack
Notes
*You can certainly add some sweetener to the chocolate. We happen to like the dark chocolate flavor. Adding a tablespoon of honey, agave, coconut sugar, etc., will give it a little sweet kick
