Instructions

  1. Melt the chocolate in a double boiler. Soak the gelatine in cold water.
  2. Beat the egg yolks and sugar in a water bath until light creamy, the mixture must not boil, otherwise the egg yolks will curdle.
  3. Warm the liqueur and the brandy slightly, dissolve the squeezed gelatine in it. Stir the gelatin into the egg mixture, stirring constantly. Stir in the chocolate spoon by spoon and keep beating until the mixture has cooled down.
  4. Beat the egg whites into snow, whip the cream until stiff. Have both under the egg mass.
  5. Peel, core and dice the pears. Stir the pears into the cream and chill for at least 2 hours.
  6. To serve, sprinkle with chocolate flakes or cut off the dumplings and serve with the poached pear.

About Editorial Staff

The Boss Kitchen editorial staff oversees content review, fact-checking, and recipe verification across the site. Published articles pass through the editorial team before going live, ensuring ingredient lists, techniques, cooking times, and nutritional claims hold up in a home kitchen. The team coordinates contributions across the site writers, handles reader corrections, and maintains consistency in measurement conventions, safety guidance, and dietary labeling. Posts under this byline typically represent team-reviewed reference material, site announcements, or editorial roundups rather than individual-author features, and they are held to the same sourcing standards as bylined recipe and product coverage.
