Ingredients Needed
- 2 cups of your favorite pudding (vanilla or caramel)
- 3 ripe pears, sliced
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Optional: a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg
Preparation Steps
Start by preparing the brown sugar glaze. In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the brown sugar and stir until it dissolves and forms a smooth syrup. Continue to cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract and optional spices.
While the glaze cools slightly, prepare the pears by slicing them thinly. If desired, toss the slices with a little lemon juice to prevent browning.
In serving glasses or bowls, layer the pudding with slices of pear. Drizzle generously with the warm brown sugar glaze. Repeat layers if desired for a more impressive presentation.
