Hoping to make this recipe for Easter dinner, I practiced on my husband. However, since I didn't have any raspberry sauce I used his home-made strawberry preserves. Tasted great!

When I served this dessert after dinner, my guests and husband oohed and aahed! The said it was delicious and could not stop complimenting me (really hurt my feeling!) and said how did I find the time to make the dessert! I did not tell them how easy it was and how much fun I had making the pear dessert. The dessert looked and tasted like a 'gourmet' dish. Beautiful presentation. Thank you for this wonderful dessert. An A++++ recipe that I've already added to my 'collection' of gourmet desserts!

i needed a quick dessert and tried the stuffed pears. Must say I was very pleased and will make them often. thanks
Delicious with lots of potential

Avishan from

Delicious, simple, and easy! I altered the recipe: put in half the amount sugar, used 50% fat content cream cheese, and bitter chocolate. I also used a Pomegrande merlot syrup in stead of Raspberry syrup and added some fresh pomegranade seeds for decoration. The great think about this recipe is that people think you have spent a lot of time preparing it.

This recipe can be upgraded to excellent. I poached fresh pears (no trouble matching halves) and then followed recipe. Finally ending with a garnish of a purchased gold foil leaf at the stem end of the pear and a few fresh raspberries scattered on the sauce. PERFECT!
