Gooey figs and pairs!

A quick dessert for one greedy person!


Ingredients:
  • cooking chocolate 
  • a teaspoon of thick cream
  • a fig in syrup, sliced
  • half a tinned pear cut into slices
  • ground cardamom
  • a small heap of "faisselle"  (typical dessert of central France, like a lumpish fromage frais, named after the strainer in which it is made).


 





Recipe
  • in a non-stick sauce pan, melt the chocolate squares (about 5...) on low heat in the cream and a drop of the pear juice
  • add the sliced pear and fig and leave to warm up for about three minutes (mind the chocolate does not turn hard!)
  • add a pinch of cardamom powder
  • put the faisselle in a small bowl and poor the hot gooey fruit on top!
Careful, it's hot! 
Great with a spicy speculoos biscuit...
