Ingredients
- 1 block silken tofu (soft)
- 2 cups water
- 3 packets gelatin
- 1 Tbsp Vanilla
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder (dutch processed)
- 3/4 cup white honey
- 6 pears
- Sauce
- 1/4 cup rum
- 2 tsp vanilla
- 1/4 t. cinnamon
- 1 1/2 Tbsp white sugar
Method
- Boil water and then pour into mixing bowl. Add gelatin packets. Mix until gelatin is completely dissolved. Add cocoa powder, vanilla and white honey. Mix until dissolved. Use a fork to mash tofu in a separate bowl. Place cocoa mixture into blender then add tofu. (If you have a hand blender, you can keep the cocoa mixture in the mixing bowl and then add mashed tofu.) Blend until smooth. Pour mixture into a deep pie dish. Place into refrigerator.
- Peel pear and slice into pieces about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick. Set aside. In a medium sized bowl, add the rum, vanilla, cinnamon, and sugar mixture and stir. Add pears to the sauce mixture and toss until the mixture coats the pears. Transfer pear mixture to a saucepan and cook until pears are slightly soft on medium high heat. Mixture will boil down and thicken slightly.
- In about one hour, check refrigerated pie mixture and check if it is slightly firm on top. When the pie mixture is slightly firm on the top, place poached fruits, flat side down in a circular fashion on top until the top of the pie is completely covered with pears. Refrigerate overnight or until completely firm.
