Impromptu deserts can be the best.  This recipe came from two people who love to watch Food Network…yes one of them is me. This is the perfect, simple, cheap and fancy treat.

Ingredients

  • 15 Ounce can of Bartlett pears in heavy syrup
  • 1/2 Cup frozen red raspberries
  • 6 Scoops French Vanilla Ice Cream
  • Cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon of sugar

Directions

Start by heating the pears in a pot over medium-low heat. Add 1/4 teaspoon of sugar and stir until warm. Meanwhile heat the 1/2 cup of frozen red raspberries over medium heat in a sauce pan. Add 1/4 teaspoon of sugar and stir until warm and most of the raspberries have broken down to a sauce. Once the pears and raspberries are ready scoop 3 scoops of ice cream per serving. Add two pear halves, top with red raspberries and sprinkle cinnamon over each dish. Serves two.
