  Having read the previous comments I reduced the proportion of sugar in the topping by 20% and made double the quantity of topping - perfect! Wonderful dessert, it went down a treat with everyone. I shall be doing it again.

  I have made these and they are beautiful, but the amounts will only make 2 so be careful if your having more than 2 for dinner.

  Amazingly easy and very impressive, my guests loved them! Don't know how it manages to taste so chocolately with only cocoa. NB it is very sweet so don't put too much sugar with pears, even if very underipe like mine were. Also almond gives it slight marzipan taste (though maybe this is disguised by alcohol if you use it)

  Delicious - made this tonight and pleased everyone. Put some Amaretto liqueur in for the adults and some mixed spice and nutmeg for the kids. Also, I used 2 egg whites so there was a bit more topping. Fabdabydosy.

  Just cooked this, definately a 'Thumbs up!! :)', boyfriend loved it. Can't believe how low fat it is. Only managed 3 ramikins with the one egg white in the mixture and substitued the poire liquer with apricot brandy, which was perfect.

  Very tasty. Next time I think I'll double the quantity for the topping.

  This is a great light dessert. I made mine with chocolate chips in the topping too which we found worked really well. The next time I make it I am thinking about possibly using tinned pears and adding some raspberries. I'll let you know how it turns out! Also agree that we thought it could have done with some more topping too!

  Came out fine using the original recipe, chocolate and pears go great together at the best of times but even more so in this recipe. On the list of 'favourite puds' in my household as a result.

  I didn't have the liqueur, so put different things into each ramekin including cinnamon, Galliano liqueur, amaretto and ginger. Yum!

  I found it a little dry, so added another stiff egg white, and it didn't seem enough mixture to cover the fruit. But it was lovely and couldn't believe it was low fat!

  really delicious! used tinned pears and might put a bit of juice in topping next time as I also found topping stiff and difficult to spread - tasted great though! like the idea of adding cinnamon...
