It is not always easy to make a dessert that has few calories but still tastes delicious. It helps to include fruits, which bring natural sweetness without extra calories. You only need a few tweaks and inspiration to create something amazing. By roasting the pears, the naturally occurring sugars in the fruit caramelise, and you will end up with a delicious and juicy dessert.
How to serve: Add flavoured curd cheese and nuts to the roasted pears. Then put on some comfy clothes and fluffy socks, get comfortable on your couch and enjoy the amazing smells of the roasted pears in your house.
