📝 Preparation Steps
1
For the Chocolate Crumble Topping
2
In a large bowl add the flour, brown sugar, cocoa powder and salt and lightly mix together.
3
Add the cold butter and using your fingers (or a dough cutter) rub in the butter into the dry ingredients until the mix resembles coarse breadcrumbs. You can also use a food processor for this step.
4
Mix in chopped chocolate. Set aside in the fridge until ready to bake your crumble.
5
For the Pear Filling
6
Preheat the oven to 350ºF (180ºC). Set aside a 9-inch baking dish. You want a wide and shallow dish for this recipe as there are lots of crumble toppings.
7
Peel, core, and chop the pears into chunks. (It's very important you use ripe pears so they will soften while baking.)
8
In a bowl mix the pears together with the cornstarch and lemon juice. Pour filling into the baking dish.

9
Top with the chocolate crumble mixture distributing evenly. It will look like it's too much but it's fine. It will bake down.
10
Bake for roughly 45 to ⏱️ 50 minutes or until the pears are soft and the topping is baked.
11
Serve warm with vanilla ice cream. Any leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 4 days.
