INGREDIENTS

Combine sugar, star anise, cinnamon, vanilla, water and salt. Bring to a boil while you prep your pears. Make sure all sugar has dissolved.

Peel pears leaving the stem intact. Core the bottom. I like to use a 1/4 tsp measure for this. You can use a spoon or carefully remove it with a pairing knife.

Add pears to poaching liquid and simmer for 30 minutes. The pears are done when you can easily pierce them with a pairing knife.

Chop chocolate into small bits, add in warmed cream, a pinch of salt and let sit for 2 minute, then stir until smooth.

Remove pears from the poaching liquid, pour over hot chocolate sauce and top with toasted almonds and a generous pinch of flaky salt. Serve with a few scoops of vanilla ice cream and eat up!
