  Yummy dessert, recommended. Will use a weeny bit less sugar last time, as I personally found it quite sugary but the flavour was good and it is easy peasy to make. Loved the pistachios, will probably add a few more next time. Just don't invite the calorie police and everyone is happy :-)

  I changed the pears for apples as im not that keen on them and it was truly delicious! My two children who are quite fussy even enjoyed them x

  Really lovely, the pistachios make it. Was quite a lot for four people, we had a serving left over. Enjoy and try not to think about the fat content...

  I agree it's a huge amount of calories for one little pud, but it's not as if it'll be eaten all that often! As long as you keep your food portions reasonably small most of the time, then a treat like this can only be good for you, given the ingredients, especially if you add a few oats (good at counteracting cholesterol anyway!). I can't wait to try it and might make it next week when we have friends round. I know they happen to adore pistachios!!

  Cooked this 3 times now. The crumble topping is fabulous and I haven't changed it at all. I found I needed more fruit as the pears lost a lot of bulk once the juice was released. Added more pears and also, to bulk it out a bit, a can of blackcurrants (drained). Absolutely yummy, everyone who's had this has loved it with or without the blackcurrants. Think it's the topping that makes it so special though as I'm sure you could substitute any juicy fruits for the filling.

  Lovely little puds, I added walnuts instead of pistachios but adding them was a great twist on traditional crumble topping. Softening the fruit in the pan beforehand gives great. Halved the quantities but still ended up with 4 ramekins worth, so having it tomorrow as well :D Also added cinnamon to the crumble mix and served with greek yoghurt.

  Let me start by saying this out loud - I'm not a massive fan of hot fruit puds! However, my bf is, so I made this for New Years Eve last night. And it was GORGEOUS. Left out the pistachios as bf isn't a fan, and did it in a large dish as I haven't got any ramekins that big (!). Was initially a bit worried that the crumble would be soggy as we put it together earlier in the evening, but the sugar content meant it went deliciously crispy on the top, and I must say, despite my initial reservations - this is stunning. Loved how the pears kept their shape, and it was delicious with some vanilla ice cream. Might put some nuts in next time - possibly pecans or hazelnuts, maybe some flaked almonds. Will be doing this again. And again, and again...

  Tasty but expected more with the good reviews. Maybe it's just me but it took along time to make and alot of washing up afterwards! It did taste good though!

  I always have a bag of this crumble in the freezer - its yummy with all sorts of fruits - if you are worried about the calories go for a nice long run afterwards!!!!!!!! Life is too short to worry about calories - as long as you are sensible most of the time.
