Cooking Steps
• Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. Peel and quarter pears, then remove cores. Zest lemon to get a generous pinch. • In a large heatproof bowl, microwave the butter in 10 second bursts until melted. • In a medium saucepan, add the water and the brown sugar. Bring to the boil over medium-high heat, add pear, then reduce heat to medium. • Cover with a lid. Simmer, turning pear occasionally, until tender, 20-25 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Meanwhile, add classic oat mix and sweet golden spice blend (see ingredients) to the melted butter. Stir to combine. • Evenly spread crumble on one side of a lined oven tray. Bake until golden, 6-10 minutes. • When the crumble has 5 minutes remaining, add pecans to the other side of the tray and spread out evenly. Bake until toasted, set aside to cool.
TIP: Keep the crumb slightly clumped together on the tray, if it's spread too thin it can burn!
• While the crumb is cooling, add cream cheese to a medium bowl and beat, using electric beaters, until smooth, 1-2 minutes. • Add light cooking cream, lemon zest and the white sugar and beat until well combined and smooth, 1-2 minutes. • Remove pears from poaching liquid, then return pan to high heat. • Bring poaching liquid to the boil and simmer until light golden brown and reduced to a caramel, 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat. Set aside to cool slightly.
TIP: Watch the caramel carefully so it doesn't burn! TIP: If you don't have an electric mixer, use a metal hand whisk!
• Roughly chop toasted pecans. • Divide cream cheese mixture between serving bowls. Top with some spiced oat crumble, poached pears and pecans. • Drizzle over caramel to serve. Enjoy!
TIP: Store any remaining crumble in an airtight container
