A buttery crust layered with sliced fresh pears and a fabulous yoghurt pastry cream makes this an elegant finale to any meal, formal or rustic. You can also try apples when pears are out of season.
Ingredient List
Crust:
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
Filling:
- 1 cup Mountain High® original or lowfat plain yoghurt
- 2 egg yolks
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 3 to 4 large pears, peeled, cored, and sliced
- 1/3 cup slivered almonds
Preparation
- To make the crust, place the butter in a medium bowl, then pour the sugar, flour, salt, and baking powder over the butter. Cut the sugar, flour, salt, and baking powder into the butter with a pastry blender or fork, until the mixture forms pea-sized crumbs. Press mixture into an ungreased 13x9-inch baking dish. Bake at 350°F for 15 minutes.
- While crust is baking, in a medium bowl, gently stir yoghurt, egg yolks, brown sugar, vanilla and cinnamon until well combined. Set aside.
- Arrange pear slices evenly on top of hot crust. Pour the yoghurt mixture evenly over the pears. Sprinkle with slivered almonds. Bake uncovered at 350°F for 30 to 40 minutes, until the filling is set like a custard and slightly browned. Cool slightly before cutting. Serve warm, at room temperature, or chilled.
