Cooking Steps

Preheat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. Peel and quarter the pear, then remove the core. In a medium saucepan, combine the water and brown sugar. Bring to a boil over a medium-high heat, add the pear and whole thyme sprigs, then reduce the heat to medium. Cover with a lid. Simmer, turning the pear occasionally, until tender, 20-25 minutes. Remove from the heat.

While the pear is poaching, in a large heatproof bowl, microwave the butter in 10 second bursts until melted. Add the classic oat mix (see ingredients), sweet golden spice blend (see ingredients) to the butter. Stir until well combined, then evenly spread the crumble onto a lined oven tray. Bake until golden, 4-6 minutes. Set aside to cool.

TIP: Keep the crumb slightly clumped together on the tray, if it's spread too thin it can burn!

While the crumble is cooling, add the cream cheese to a medium bowl and beat, using electric beaters until smooth, 1-2 minutes. Add the light thickened cream (see ingredients) and white sugar and beat until well combined and smooth, 1-2 minutes. Set aside. Remove the pears from the poaching liquid and return the pan to a high heat. Bring the poaching liquid to the boil, and cook until light golden brown and reduced to a caramel, 3-5 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool slightly. Remove thyme sprigs.

TIP: Watch the caramel carefully so it doesn’t burn!

Roughly chop the pecans. Divide the cream cheese mixture between bowls. Top with the poached pears, some spiced oat crumble and pecans. Drizzle over the caramel to serve.

TIP: Store any remaining spiced oat crumble in an airtight container.
