Vanilla Honey Baked Bosc Pears with Coconut Yogurt & Raspberries

These baked pears are everything you want in a fall dessert: tender fruit, warm cinnamon, a drizzle of honey, and a crunchy sprinkle of pecans and pistachios.
The best part? They’re served on a cool cloud of Trader Joe’s coconut yogurt for a creamy, dairy free finish.
It’s a dessert that tastes decadent but feels nourishing and perfect for brunch, a dinner party, or a cozy night in.

Ingredients (Serves 4)

• 4 Bosc pears, ripe but firm

• 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted

• 3 tbsp honey (plus more for drizzling)

• 1 ½ tsp pure vanilla extract

• 1 tsp cinnamon

• Pinch of sea salt

• ¼ cup pecans, roughly chopped

• ¼ cup pistachios, roughly chopped

• ½ cup fresh raspberries

• 1 cup Trader Joe’s coconut yogurt (or any creamy dairy-free yogurt)

Directions

1. Prep the Pears
   Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
   Halve the pears lengthwise and scoop out the cores with a spoon. Arrange them cut side up in a baking dish.

2. Make the Glaze
   In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, honey, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and a pinch of sea salt.

3. Bake
   Spoon the glaze over the pears, letting some pool in the center of each half.
   Bake for 25–30 minutes, basting once or twice, until the pears are tender and caramelized around the edges.

4. Serve
   Spread a generous swirl of coconut yogurt on each plate. Nestle two warm pear halves on top.
   Drizzle with the pan juices and an extra ribbon of honey.
   Finish with chopped pecans, pistachios, and fresh raspberries.

Serving Tips

• Add a dusting of powdered cinnamon or a light sprinkle of lemon zest for brightness.

• For a brunch spread, serve alongside granola or warm spiced oats.

• Leftovers? Slice the pears cold and spoon over morning yogurt bowls.
