Ingredients You’ll Need
- 1 package of ladyfinger biscuits (savoiardi)
- 1 can of pear halves (or 3–4 ripe fresh pears, peeled and sliced)
- 1 cup dark or semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon sugar (optional, depending on your chocolate)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Optional: cocoa powder or chocolate shavings for garnish
How to Make the Super Easy Chocolate Pear Charlotte
- Prepare the chocolate mousse:
Melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl over simmering water (or in the microwave in 30-second bursts). Let it cool slightly. Whip the heavy cream with sugar and vanilla until soft peaks form. Fold the melted chocolate gently into the whipped cream until fully combined. - Line your mold:
Use a round springform pan or a charlotte mold. Line the sides with ladyfingers standing upright (sugar side facing out). Line the bottom with more ladyfingers, trimming to fit if needed. - Layer the dessert:
Spoon a layer of chocolate mousse into the mold, then add a layer of sliced pears. Repeat if you have enough ingredients, ending with a mousse layer on top. - Chill:
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results. This allows the mousse to set and the flavors to meld. - Garnish and serve:
Just before serving, top with chocolate shavings, cocoa powder, or extra pear slices. Carefully remove the mold to reveal the elegant ladyfinger border.
