Chocolate
& pear savarin

Created by:
Alexandre Bourdeaux - Chef and owner of Pastry&Chocadvice Belgium

This chocolate savarin has nothing to do with the classic savarin. Forget the rum, but keep the shape of a typical savarin. For this recipe the base is an indulgent chocolate sponge topped with a savarin shaped chocolate mousse. Vanilla-flavoured, caramelised pear cubes do the rest.
