Instructions
a) Preheat your oven to 200°C. Quarter the pear lengthways, remove the core and chop into 2cm chunks (no need to peel). Zest and halve the lemon. Roughly chop the hazelnuts. Cut the butter into small cubes. Leave half of it out for the pears and pop the other half into the fridge to keep chilled (you will use this later for the crumble).
Heat a large frying pan on medium heat. When hot, add the butter (the half you have kept out for the pears). When the butter starts to sizzle, add the chopped pears, cinnamon and half of the sugar to the pan. Cook, stirring, until the sugar melts and the pears starts to soften, 4-5 mins. Add the lemon zest, squeeze in the lemon juice (see ingredients for amount), stir to combine then allow it to cook for a further 1-2 mins. When ready, transfer the pear mix (with all the juices) into an appropriately sized ovenproof dish.
In the meantime, pop the remaining cold cubes of butter (from the fridge) into a medium bowl, then add in the flour. Rub the butter into the flour with your fingertips until it looks like coarse breadcrumbs. Stir in the chocolate chips, hazelnuts and the remaining sugar. Evenly cover the pears with the crumble mix. When hot, pop the dish onto the top shelf of your oven to bake until golden and bubbling, 25-30 mins. When ready, divide the pear, chocolate and hazelnut crumble between your bowls and serve with a generous spoonful of the creme fraiche alongside. Dessert heaven! Enjoy.
