Yogurt-Pear Bars
Yogurt Pear Bars
Chunks of juicy pear are folded into a yogurt custard that is baked atop a shortbread base. The caramelization and reduction that occur produce a thick pudding heavenly in flavor (seemingly akin to fruit liqueur and sweetened condensed milk, though neither is an ingredient!) that melts and grow onto your palate ever so gradually. Forget ambrosia!
