Pears stuffed with amaretti and cocoa

6 pears

100 g hard amaretti

1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder

2 tbsp Amaretto liqueur or other flavors

Lemon

Pears hold up better if they are not peeled. It's better to choose them organically.

Preheat the oven to 180^oC.

Cut the pears in half, remove the seeds and the fibrous part with a Parisian spoon, or teaspoon. Dig a small cavity so you can put the stuffing in it. Keep the flesh salvaged to add to the stuffing.

Lemonize the pears so they don't turn black.

Crush the pear flesh with a fork. Add coarsely crushed amaretti, cocoa, and amaretto. Mix well.

Arrange the pears flat in a large dish. Stuff them with the mixture and pour ¹/₂ glass of water into the bottom of the dish.

Bake for about 35 minutes. More or less depending on your oven and the variety of pears.

They can be enjoyed warm or cold.
