  • The festive flavours of mulled wine meet the classic Italian spiced sponge in one glorious pudding!
  • The pears are poached then left for at least 24 hours to absorb the mulled Merlot
  • Cooks straight from frozen

Try it with:

  • It’s best warm, so try it with a cool scoop of ice cream
  • Some crème fraiche or clotted cream works wonderfully, too
  • Or, for the more traditional among you, try it with a proper vanilla custard

How We Make It At Our Kitchen

  • We start by mulling the pears in a full-bodied Merlot red wine with cinnamon sticks and brown sugar.
  • Meanwhile, we bake our spiced frangipane sponge with a few pears mixed in.
  • Then the mulled pears are arranged over the frangipane, given a raspberry and port glaze and topped with chopped pistachios.
