Tips

You can bake any type of pear, even those that may seem too hard to eat or cook with. In this recipe, a slightly under-ripe pear works well as it becomes tender in the heat of the oven. However, since they soften as they bake, it is best to avoid using overly ripe pears to prevent ending up with a mushy result.

Tips

When it comes to serving, they can be enjoyed either warm or chilled. If you are a fan of warm desserts, serve them while they are still nice and toasty. But, if you are looking for a refreshing twist, refrigerate them for a couple of hours before serving them with the chilled cream cheese and yogurt cinnamon cream.

Questions about baked pears with lactose-free yogurt cream

Enjoying a perfectly baked pear with a scrumptious dollop of velvety rich yogurt cream makes for a complete indulgence. Read more about the easy, yummy recipe below.

How long to bake pears?
The baking time varies depending on the recipe and how big and ripe the pears are. But typically, 10-15 minutes at 220°C should do the trick. Just keep an eye on them and poke them with a fork or toothpick to check if they are tender enough. If you like them softer and more caramelised, you can bake them for a bit longer, but be careful not to overbake them as they may turn too mushy.
How long will baked pears with lactose-free yogurt cream last?
Leftovers can last 3-5 days in a sealed container in the fridge. It is best to store the pears and cream separately. When you are ready to indulge, simply warm the pears in the microwave or oven to liquefy the sauce and gently heat the pears, then serve with the cold cinnamon cream.
Can you freeze baked pears?
You can freeze baked pears for 2-3 months. Let them cool, then wrap each pear in cling film or foil to prevent freezer burn and keep them from sticking together. Place them in a freezer-safe bag or container, then put them in the freezer.
