Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1
Gently mix the room temperature mascarpone with powdered sugar and refrigerate.
Step 2
In a saucepan, melt the butter, add maple syrup, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, and cardamom, gently stir with a wooden spatula, and simmer the syrup over low heat for 4–6 minutes.
Step 3
Wash the pear, cut it in half, remove the core (if desired, the fruit can be peeled), and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Place the halves in the syrup, cut side down, and caramelize the pears for 10–15 minutes until soft, carefully moving the halves. Let the finished pears cool.
