Featuring The Glorious Mess Caramel Meringue Nests

Ingredients

2 The Glorious Mess Caramel Meringue Nests
1 ripe pear (peeled, cored and sliced)
250ml water
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tbsp caster sugar (for poaching)
75g mascarpone
50ml double cream
1 tbsp icing sugar
2 tbsp Hawkshead Relish Sticky Toffee Sauce
20g dark chocolate, for grating
4–6 small cubes of BonBons fudge, crumbled

All ingredients are available to purchase in our Farm Shop

Method

  1. Place your sliced pear in a small pan with the water, cinnamon, and caster sugar. Cover with a circle of greaseproof paper (this keeps them tender and evenly cooked). Simmer gently for 10–15 minutes until soft but still holding shape. Set aside to cool slightly.
  2. In a bowl, beat the mascarpone, double cream, and icing sugar until smooth and pillowy.
  3. Place your Caramel Meringue Nests on plates. Dollop in generous scoops of mascarpone cream and arrange the warm spiced pear slices over the top.
  4. Add the fudge crumble, then drizzle with the sticky toffee.
  5. Top it all off with dark chocolate shavings and just the slightest sprinkle of cinnamon.
  6. Serve immediately – before someone else gets to it first!
