vegetariangluten-freedessertbreakfastSpray SurfaceKid-Friendly
Chocolate stuffed baked pears turn a simple dessert into something special. The melted chocolate center is rich and decadent. On this page, find the full recipe with ingredient details, air frying instructions, and serving suggestions.
Ingredients
- 2 firm pears (Bosc or Anjou), halved and cored
- 4 tablespoons chocolate chips (about 1 tablespoon per half)
- 1 tablespoon butter, diced small
- pinch flaky salt
- Vanilla ice cream for serving
Steps
- 01Halve and core the pears per the base recipe.
- 02Fill each core cavity with chocolate chips and a small piece of butter.
- 03Ready for the air fryer.
- 04Serve warm with ice cream and a pinch of flaky salt over the melted chocolate.
The chocolate melts in the cavity and pools into a warm ganache-like center. The butter helps it stay fluid instead of seizing into a solid lump. The flaky salt on top is the move that makes this taste intentional and sophisticated rather than "I put chocolate on a pear." Sweet, salty, warm, cold (with ice cream). Four sensations in one bite.
