    1 Preheat oven to 180°C. In a medium non-stick frying pan, melt the spread over medium high. Add the pears and sugar and toss to coat. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5-7 minutes, or until the pears are tender and their juices start releasing.

    2 Transfer pears to six 1-cup ramekins or a large baking dish. Scatter pears with dark chocolate.

    3 For the chocolate crumble, in a bowl, combine flours, sugar, LSA and cocoa powder. Rub in the spread along with  1 tablespoon water until crumbs form. Scatter the crumbs over the pears and chocolate.

    4 Bake the crumble for about 25-30 minutes, or until golden and warmed through. Serve drizzled with vanilla custard.

    Variations

    Make it gluten free: Use gluten-free flours and check chocolate, custard and cocoa powder are gluten free.
