Ingredients

Pears - 4 pieces
Red Grape Juice - 13 fl oz
Sugar - 10.6 oz
Salt - a pinch
Large eggs - 4 pieces
Wheat Flour - 2.1 oz
Starch film - 1 tablespoon
Milk - 8 fl oz
Ground Poppy Seeds - 3.5 oz
Powdered Sugar - 2 tablespoons
Egg white - 2 pieces
Gelatin - 4 pieces
Cream (40%) - 7 fl oz
Cocoa Powder - 4 tablespoons

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Peel the pears and cut them into pieces (1 cm). Bring the wine and 150 grams of sugar to a boil, add the pears, and cook for 5 minutes. Leave to cool in the syrup.

Step 2

Preheat the oven to 392°F. Separate the egg whites from the yolks (4 pieces). Whisk the yolks with 2 tablespoons of sugar. Whisk the egg whites with a pinch of salt, gradually adding 2 tablespoons of sugar.

Step 3

Mix the flour, 2 tablespoons of cocoa, and starch. Add to the yolks and mix well. Gradually fold in the egg whites, trying to maintain the volume.

Step 4

Spread the batter onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and turn it onto a towel dusted with powdered sugar.

Step 5

Bring the milk, 75 grams of sugar, and poppy seeds to a boil. Quickly add 2 yolks. Heat, but do not boil. Remove from heat and stir in the pre-soaked and squeezed gelatin.

Step 6

Mix well and let cool. Whip the cream and fold it into the cooled mixture.

Step 7

Remove the paper from the sponge. Spread the cream, then place the pears on top. Roll the sponge using the towel. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Before serving, dust with the remaining cocoa.
