Method

Why I Like this Recipe

This is one of those recipes I keep coming back to. It’s soft, slightly creamy, and the pears keep it nice and juicy without needing loads of added sugar. The curd cheese gives it a good protein boost, but it still feels light enough for breakfast. I also like that it holds well in the fridge, so I can just slice a piece the next day and not think about it.

Tips and Variations

  • Use apples instead of pears for a slightly different flavour.
  • Add chopped nuts (such as walnuts or almonds) for extra texture.
  • Choose lactose-free milk and curd cheese if needed.
  • Serve warm for a softer texture or chilled for a firmer slice.
  • Enjoy it as a post-workout breakfast or light snack.
  • Pair with Greek yoghurt for a bit more protein and creaminess.
  • Slice into portions and store in the fridge for easy meal prep.
  • Serve as a light dessert with fresh fruit on the side.

Meal Storage

Store any leftovers in the fridge in a sealed container for up to 3 days. It firms up a bit as it sits, and the flavour is actually even better the next day.

Freezer tips

Let it cool completely, then cut into portions and freeze in suitable containers. It keeps well for about 2 months.

Leave it to defrost overnight in the fridge. You can warm it up in the microwave or oven, but it’s just as good eaten cold.
