vanilla pears Explanation: The pears are probably cooked in a sugar syrup with a vanilla bean. I would say "Chocolate St. Honoré with vanilla pears" or "Chocolate St. Honoré with pears cooked in vanilla syrup". The chocolate part depends on where the chocolate comes from. Is it in the pastry cream inside the choux? Or is it used as a 'nappage'? In the second case, I would say "St. HOnoré with chocolate and pears cooked in vanilla syrup." |

Chocolate St. Honoré with vanilla-poached pears Explanation: On second thought.. The pears are probably poached not "cooked" as I said before. Poached definitely sounds more elegant. As for the chocolate part, I didn't explain myself very well. If there the pastry cream is chocolate (inside the choux) then you could probably say Chocolate St. Honoré because the chocolate is a main ingredient in the cake. On the other hand, if the chocolate is drizzled over the top, I would go for St Honoré with chocolate glaze and vanilla-poached pears. Just a thought... |
