Dec 1, 2019 ·

The countdown to Christmas is on. How about a make ahead dessert to take the pressure off your holiday entertaining? My recipe for Roasted Pear Fool Crunch can be made a day in advance and checks off all the boxes for festive, easy and delicious. This is my second entry in the USA Pears Blogger Recipe Challenge Baking/Desserts category.

Dip your spoon into this creamy, crunchy, spicy and juicy dessert. The caramelized pears add a fresh intense sweetness that “pears perfectly” with the warm spices of the gingersnaps and slight bitterness of the orange marmalade. The addition of the mascarpone cheese helps to stabilize the cream, so the dessert can be made a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator. Garnish just before serving.

    You have morfed into a professional “foodie”, complete with beautiful photographs and recipes that are easy to follow and of course delicious! Do I see a cookbook in your future? Good luck with all your contests…each one is a winner! xoxo

      I’ve come a loooong way. Thanks for your sweet comments. It’s this time of year I immerse myself in the recipes and thankful for a contest challenge. I do have an idea for a cookbook that honors my dad. I jot down notes and ideas in a bedside table notebook. Don’t know if I will ever actually turn it into a cookbook.
