Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups (500 g) canned pears
- 2/3 cup (150 ml) canned pear syrup
- 1 cup (130 g) cashews
- a pinch of salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Optional
- Maple syrup to taste (depending on sweetness of canned pears)
- Cinnamon, for garnish
- Granola, for garnish
- Chopped nuts, for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare ingredients: Drain the canned pears, reserving the syrup. Measure out 2 1/4 cups (500 g) of canned pears and 2/3 cup (150 ml) of the pear syrup for the recipe.
- Blend the ingredients: Place the canned pears, pear syrup, and cashews into a blender or food processor. Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and a pinch of salt to enhance the flavor. Blend everything until you achieve a smooth, creamy consistency.
- Adjust sweetness: Taste the pear cream and, if desired, add maple syrup to adjust sweetness according to your preference. Blend briefly to incorporate.
- Serve immediately or refrigerate: Pour the pear cream into a bowl and serve right away, or cover and refrigerate for later use to enjoy chilled.
- Garnish and enjoy: Optionally, drizzle extra maple syrup on top and sprinkle with cinnamon, granola, or chopped nuts for added flavor and crunch. This pear cream is delightful as a spread, a yogurt alternative, or a base for desserts.
Notes
- You can soak the cashews for 1-2 hours in warm water for a smoother texture if desired, but this step is optional.
- Use canned pears with syrup for natural sweetness; adjust maple syrup accordingly based on pear sweetness.
