Pear and Banana Crisp

Individual crisps made with fresh fruit are a lovely finish to any dinner, and prove that there's no reason to scrimp on dessert. If you want, splurge on some good-quality vanilla ice cream to serve alongside.

Pear & Almond Mascarpone Tart

Pear and Walnut Baklava

This crisp, fresh take on the Greek and Turkish dessert is perfect for serving with tea or coffee.

Stash them away in the freezer to prolong their shelf life.
