Indulge in Our Enchanting Poached Pear Creation

A Symphony of Flavours Awaits at Le Bonheur Pâtisserie


Embark on a culinary journey of pure indulgence with Le Bonheur Pâtisserie's signature masterpiece - an experience that promises to tantalise your taste buds and awaken your senses like never before. This isn't just a dessert; it's a symphony of flavours, meticulously crafted to perfection.



The Essence of European Elegance

At the heart of our dessert lies the freshest of seasonal pears, handpicked with care from the lush orchards of France and occasionally from Italy's verdant landscapes, along with other select regions of Europe. These pears, celebrated for their juicy sweetness, are the canvas upon which our culinary magic unfolds.


Secret Symphony of Flavours

The secret to our dessert's allure lies in the extraordinary skill and meticulous attention to detail of our chef. The pear, tenderly poached in a sumptuous red wine from a renowned Bordeaux chateau, is a testimony to our commitment to excellence. It’s not just a process; it's an art, honed over hours to ensure the fruit absorbs every nuanced note of the wine.


Creamy Undercurrent

Beneath this delicate pear lies a bed of Italian Cream Cheese, sourced from the renowned region of Lombardy. This cheese is a masterpiece in its own right, enriched with deeply-roasted Pecans and a mysterious Irish elixir, a term we use to describe the enchanting Irish cream without unveiling its full magic. This blend creates a rich, velvety base that complements the pear's wine-infused notes.


Zabaione Zenith

Crowning this creation is the Zabaione, a light yet luscious custard, ingeniously concocted from egg yolks and a distinguished Port-style wine. This element adds a layer of sophistication, balancing the dessert with its creamy texture and complex flavours.


The Final Flourish

The pièce de résistance is our thick, syrupy sauce, a reduction of red wine interlaced with select herbs and spices, simmered meticulously for eight hours. This maroon red elixir envelopes the dessert, adding depth and a tantalising allure to each spoonful.



In crafting this dessert, our chef has not just created a dish but a masterpiece that stands alone in the world of gastronomy. It's a unique testament to creativity and culinary excellence, presented with a humble grace that belies its complex and exquisite flavours. Le Bonheur Pâtisserie invites you to indulge in this one-of-a-kind creation, a dessert that's not just eaten but experienced, leaving an indelible impression on your palate and heart.
