Ingredients

8
large pears
1 lb.
refrigerated pie crust
8
scoops vanilla ice cream
Caramel, for drizzling

Directions

1. Step 1Preheat oven to 350°. Peel and halve pears (leave stem intact), then use a melon baller to scoop out seeds and a small hole. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet face down (round side up).
2. Step 2Roll out pie crust into 1/4"-thick sheets, then divide into squares large enough to fit over a pear half. Cover pear with pie crust, then use a small knife to cut around the edges of the pear.
3. Step 3Use a knife to make small slits on the pear. Form excess crust into small leafs and pinch them to the top of the pears (to make them more secure, brush leaf with a little milk). Repeat with remaining pears.
4. Step 4Bake until pie crust is golden and juice is bubbling out from pears, about 20 minutes.
5. Step 5Let cool, then flip and top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and drizzle with caramel.
