Cinnamon-Scented Baked Pears

Recipe Ingredients

4 cups	948ml	Ripe and juicy pears (medium)
		= (such as Comice or Packham)
3/4 teaspoon	3.8ml	Ground cinnamon
1 cup	146g / 5.1oz	Fat-free ricotta cheese
1 1/2 teaspoons	7.5ml	Splenda No Calorie Sweetener

Recipe Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Cut pears lengthwise in quarters and core; do not peel. Slice pears 1/4-inch thick widthwise. Arrange half of pears in a 9-inch glass pie dish in concentric circles. Sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon. Top with remaining pear slices and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon.

Bake until pears are tender and give off juices, about 25 minutes; remove from oven. (Note: To enhance the flavor of this dessert, pour the cooked juices into a small pot and reduce by half. Spoon over the pears before serving.)

Place ricotta in bowl of an electric mixer. Add Splenda and remaining 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon. Beat until cheese is light and fluffy, about 1 minute.

This recipe yields 4 servings; about 1 cup of pears topped with 1/4 cup of seasoned ricotta per serving.
