Elegant and easy. I got this out of one of my community cookbooks, but it tastes like something a restaurant in Atlantic City New Jersey used to make. I think the restaurant is now closed.
Ingredients:
1 cup whipping cream, well chilled
2 tablespoons sugar
1 (29 ounce) can pears in heavy syrup, drained, reserve 2 1/2 ounces of syrup
4 ounces german cooking chocolate
Directions:
1. Whip cream until thick, add sugar and continue to whip until thick.
2. Drain pears well.
3. Melt chocolate with reserved syrup.
4. Put pears in a large bowl, a glass bowl makes a nice presentation.
5. Cover pears with whipped cream.
6. Cool chocolate mixture, then pour or spoon chocolate carefully over whipped cream.
7. Chill well.
