Orange Spiced Whiskey Poached Pears | A Delightful Dessert

Whether you want to make this over the holidays or just because you like dessert, this orange spiced whiskey poached pear dessert will hit the spot. A great way to finish off a comforting meal.

Feel free to try making this without whiskey if you are a strictly dry household. It will end up being quite different. A little bit of brandy extract would work if you are not super strict/concerned as there is a little alcohol. There is also some alcohol in the vanilla elixir. However it cooks off and has no affect.

You shall require the following:

3 Ripe Bosc Pears
1 Small-Med Lemon for juicing
3 Strips of Orange Peel (or so)
1/2 Cup Orange Juice (fresh)
1.5 Oz Whiskey
1 TBSP + 2 TSP Raw Sugar
3 Small Cinnamon Sticks (or just one large one)
8 Cloves
2 Allspice Berries
1/4 TSP Nutmeg (optional)
Water if you want to reduce the potency of spices, or your can reduce the spices depending on your taste preference

1 Can Coconut Cream
3 TBSP Raw Sugar
1/2 OZ Fresh Orange Juice
1/8 TSP Concentrated Vanilla Elixir (more if regular vanilla extract – 1/2 TSP approx.)

Garnish with a clove and orange twist

Thoughts/Notes:

If you would like the coconut cream mixture to be thicker feel free to pop it in the fridge overnight beforehand. You may just want to opt for buying coconut whip cream or vegan vanilla bean ice cream. I actually froze the remainder of mine and used some the next day. In this case you will have to let it defrost a a bit, unless you would like to do some shavings which works too! This coconut balances out the citrus and the spices.

I added a little ground nutmeg as an afterthought, so your eyes weren’t playing tricks on you. This is optional.

For those with a simpler palate, you can reduce the spice amount. I like big bold flavours, but I also like to keep in mind everyones’ differences. You can always up the spice later on if you prefer to play it safe.

Feel free to replace sugar with your preferred sweetening component. Keep in mind, each replacement is different so measurements will vary. You do need something sweet to balance out the spices and citrus.
