Chocolate and Pear Brûlée

Chocolate and pears are a classic combination; the flavours work so well together. The texture of the brûlée has an almost chocolate-toffee consistency which can become more toffee-ish if you use extra chocolate.

I like to eat crème brûlées at room temperature so the consistency is similar to egg custard. However, this pudding can also be eaten chilled.
