Steps

  1. Grease a 9 x 9-inch (22 x 22 cm) baking dish, and preheat the oven to 325°F (170°C).
  2. In a double boiler, melt the chocolate and butter or margarine. When melted, remove from the heat.
  3. Whisk the egg yolks and sugar together until they become thick and pale yellow.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites until firm.
  5. Combine the chocolate and egg yolk mixture, and mix well.
  6. Beginning with about ⅓ the egg whites, gently fold them into the chocolate/egg yolk mixture.
  7. Add the slices of pear, and stir once or twice. Add the entire mixture to the baking dish.
  8. Bake for 35–40 minutes, until the bake is springy yet firm to the touch.
  9. Serve hot with whipped cream.
