Chocolate Pear Bake

This Chocolate Pear Bake is a dessert that resembles a brownie in appearance, yet contains no flour, instead using whipped egg whites to provide structure. The pear adds a nice mild fruit tone to the chocolate.

Ingredients:

7 oz Semisweet chocolate, chopped or chips
1/2 cup Butter or Margarine
4 Eggs, separated
1/2 cup Sugar
2 Pears, sliced
Lightly whipped cream or cool whip

Grease a 9x9 inch baking dish, and pre-heat the oven to 325°F.

Melt the chocolate and butter or margarine in a double boiler. When melted, remove from the heat.

Whisk the egg yolks and sugar together until they become thick and a pale yellow color.

In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites until firm.

Combine the chocolate and egg yolk mixture, and mix well.

Beginning with about 1/3 of the egg whites, gently fold them into the chocolate/egg yolk mixture.

Add the slices of pear, and stir once or twice. Add the entire mixture to the baking dish.

Bake for 35-40 minutes, until the bake is springy yet firm to the touch.

Serve hot with whipped cream or cool whip type topping.

You may substitute sliced peaches, apples, or orange segments for the pears.
