3 beurre bosc pears, peeled, cored, chopped
2 cups (300g) frozen blackberries
2 tbs plain flour
1/2 cup (110g) caster sugar
1 tsp vanilla bean paste
Double cream, to serve

White Chocolate Crumble

75g unsalted butter, softened
150g brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla bean paste
2/3 cup (100g) plain flour
1/2 cup (45g) rolled oats
1/2 cup (90g) white chocolate chips

Method

1.

Place pear, blackberries, flour, sugar and vanilla in a bowl and toss to combine. Place in a saucepan with 1/4 cup (60ml) water and bring to the boil. Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5-6 minutes until fruit has softened and starts to release juice. Set aside.
2.

For crumble, rub butter, sugar, vanilla, flour and oats in a bowl until large clumps form. Add chocolate and stir to combine. Freeze for 20 minutes to firm up.
3.

Preheat the oven to 180°C. Divide the fruit filling among two shallow ovenproof dishes and scatter over crumble. Place on a baking tray and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden. Serve with double cream
