It’s officially one of my favourite seasons for desserts and these Baked Pears with Cardamom Cream are absolutely heavenly.
This dessert packs a ton of flavour with just a few simple ingredients.
Pears, walnuts, oats, maple syrup and cardamom – a divine combination of flavours which are perfect for the cozy season ahead.
I love warm desserts in the cooler, cozy months but I want them to be simple so I can spend more time enjoying.
This is where the pears come in; by using ripened Bosc pears you start with a naturally sweet fruit that brings a lot of flavour and they keep their shape while baking.
So, by baking the pears, it brings out their natural sweetness and they go beautifully with the walnuts and oatmeal. Plus, the cardamom cream finishes off this dessert perfectly.

What an elegant dessert! You can never go wrong with the combination of pears and cardamom, but I really like the way you’ve paired them up here. (Or is that “peared” them up…)

This Baked Pears with Caramom Cream recipe is comfort food at its best for me, Jessica. I can just imagine the fragrance of this dessert baking in the oven. And I love the idea of the Cardamom cream – cardamom is often neglected, in my opinion – it is such a lovely spice. Many thanks for sharing. Your lovely recipe will be happening soon in my own kitchen.
Thank you for the recipe love Denise! I agree with you on the use of cardamom, often not used but such a lovely spice! I hope you enjoy the recipe when you make it 🙂
