Ingredients
Method
- Melt the dark chocolate with water until smooth. Let it cool slightly.
- Separate the egg whites from the yolks. Add the yolks to the melted chocolate and mix well.
- Beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form. Gently fold them into the chocolate mixture to create a light mousse.
- Refrigerate the mousse for about 3 hours to firm up.
- Drain the pears, reserve the syrup, and cut the fruit into small cubes.
- Quickly dip the ladyfingers into the pear syrup and line the bottom and sides of your mold.
- Add a layer of chocolate mousse, then a layer of diced pears.
- Repeat layers if needed and finish with a layer of soaked biscuits.
- Refrigerate for at least 3 more hours (preferably overnight) before unmolding and serving.
Notes
For easy unmolding, line the mold with plastic wrap before assembling. Prepare the dessert the day before for best texture. You can replace canned pears with poached fresh pears for a more refined flavor.
