1 large pear (Comice or similar)
1 tbsp cinnamon
500ml Alpro Soya Unsweetened alternative to milk
25g Cornflour
50g ground almonds
1 egg, beaten
2 tbsp honey
1 vanilla pod, seeds only
1 tbsp of vanilla extract
A pinch of ground ginger
4 tbsp almond flakes, toasted
1. Preheat the oven to 180°C and grease 4 individual ramekins.
2. Peel and core the pear and cut it into equal pieces. Arrange these pieces at the bottom of each ramekin and sprinkle with ground cinnamon.
3. Blend the Alpro Soya Drink with the cornflower into a smooth mixture, then add the ground almonds, vanilla seeds, vanilla extract, ground ginger, the egg and half the honey.
4. Put the ramekins in a 'bain marie' and cook in the oven for approximately 15-20 minutes. Serve warm, topped with the toasted almonds and drizzled with the remaining honey for a little extra sweetness.
To cook 'au bain-marie', put the filled ramekins in a a large, deep baking dish surrounded by just boiling water up to around half their height. Don't throw away your vanilla pod – pop it into an airtight jar of sugar for lovely vanilla scented sugar any time you want.
