Comment sont calculés les glucides nets?INGREDIENTS
- 2 tbsp Butter
- 2 tbsp Xylitol
- 1/4 tsp, ground Cardamom
- 2 pear, medium (approx 2-1/2 per lb) Pears
- 3 large Egg (Whole)
- 2 large Egg Yolk
- 2 cup Heavy Cream
- 2 tbsp Maple Syrup (sugar-free)
- 1/2 fl oz (no ice) Rum
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
DIRECTIONS
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Heat the butter, xylitol and cardamom in a large sauce pan over medium-high heat. Slice the pears into 1/2-inch wedges. Once the butter has melted add the pears and allow to caramelize for 4 minutes on each side. Remove from heat and arrange in a pie plate or 3-4 cup casserole dish. Reserve about 2 Tbsp syrup and pour the remaining over the pears (keep remaining in the sauce pan and set aside).
- In a small bowl, whisk the eggs, egg yolks, heavy cream, sugar free syrup, rum and vanilla until combined. Pour mixture over the pears and bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown and custard has set. Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly.
- Using a pastry brush, brush the top with reserved caramel syrup. If the syrup has hardened, reheat in the sauce pan until liquid.
