Are you looking for a romantic dessert? You've come to the right place! Here's how you can make pears placed in red wine on a blackberry countertop, which is the best dessert for a special occasion!
Ah, yes, the month of love is here. Of course, I mean February. And yes, I definitely agree that we should celebrate love every day, not just on February 14th, Valentine's Day, or February 24th, Dragobete. But let's face it - isn't it nice when you know there's a special excuse to celebrate with your loved one? I'm skeptical and a little anti-holiday like that, but I'll never say no to a romantic dessert. I'm human too! 🙂
And as I was thinking about some nice desserts only good for Valentine's Day, I came up with an excellent idea: pears placed in red wine. Let's be serious, nothing can surpass them. Take a look at how beautiful they are!
Hey, but please don't be sad. In case you are alone on this day, you may as well prepare these laid pears for you. What's more, prepare a whole tray and enjoy life a little! Or you can invite a few friends and enjoy a very good dessert. I'm sure no one will say no! 😉
Pears placed in red wine are the best idea for a February dessert - or for any other moment when you feel like you want to enjoy a special dessert. And let me tell you why.
First of all, they are simply gorgeous. No, not only gorgeous, I really think it's worth putting on the cover of a gastronomic magazine. The colour, the shape, the fluffy blackness underneath. Simply perfection! 🙂
And I don't even know where to start to tell you what flavour they have. It's insane! Pears are infused in a mixture of red wine and spices (anise and vanilla, to be exact). Then, after boiling, the wine slowly turns into a syrup. So it already sounds like a recipe from heaven. What's next? We combine the resulting pears with some blackberry dough muffins, and thus we get a wonderful dessert. What more could you want? They are extraordinary!
If you want to take things to another level (but please read carefully what I'm going to tell you!), You can even add 1-2 cups of home-made vegan ice cream next to it when serving these laid pears. Vanilla ice cream fits best in my opinion. Or peanut butter. But only if you are ready to impress everyone who will taste this dessert. But beware - it creates addiction. I warned you!
A little note about wine: dry wine fits best in this combination and is the most recommended. You can use a Cabernet Sauvignon or a Merlot - whichever you prefer!
After all, what could be more romantic than some red wine and chocolate ? Nothing at all! So why not combine the two in one of the most beautiful and tasty desserts that have ever arrived at this blog (or in this stomach, to be honest)? And the best part is that you can prepare this dessert yourself without much effort. This means that the result will make you very proud, I promise. Especially if you do it out of love. For the person next to you or for you, why not? There is no right or wrong answer here.
Now let me tell you an important detail. This recipe is very simple and quick BUT. Yes, there is a "gift". You will have to be a little patient with the pears because they have to reach room temperature to reach that level of laying that will give them an incredible aroma and a very soft and silky texture. After laying, therefore, you will need to let the pears reach room temperature for a period of time. So you have to wait a bit. We have nothing to do!
My advice when it comes to this is to prepare the pears placed in red wine the day before assembling the dessert and serving it. Or very early in the morning, to have time to cool down. In the meantime, you can make chocolate blackberry.
One of my favourite things about this recipe is that the result will be super impressive. Your loved ones (or yourself) will definitely fall in love with these pears placed in red wine. Everything is wonderful: appearance, taste, texture. Everything! I really consider it to be a special dessert to serve on a really special day. And the preparation process is also quite flexible. You can prepare individually laid pears, as I did today, or you can prepare a large blackberry tray over which to place the pears. This way you will get a real pear cake placed in red wine instead of individual cakes.
Spicy, silky, sensual, sweet and very special - that's how I would describe this dessert. That's all you need to celebrate Valentine's Day this year. And it's 100% vegan / fasting too, so there's no better way than that.
If you decide to try this dessert, first of all please be prepared to be impressed. Secondly, I ask you something else: don't forget to tell me how it turned out. That's all. Spor la posat!
