Baked Pears with Cranberries

Baked Pears with Cranberries and Whipped Orange Coconut Cream

This simple dessert is a cinch to make, tastes amazing and is elegant enough for company.

You’ll love how easy this is to make! Just take some pears, stuff them with butter and a pinch of cinnamon and nutmeg. Add your cranberries. Then zest a little bit of orange and squeeze the juice all over the cranberries and pears for a punch of fresh flavor.

Pop it in the oven for about 30 minutes and this is what it comes out looking like. Yum! Real food is so pretty, don’t you think?

Top each pear half with a dollop of whipped coconut cream and it’s pure heaven, I tell you.

I definitely licked clean every square inch of that plate after the photo 😉
