Pear & Ginger Pudding

This upside down pear and ginger almond pudding is moist and has no added sugar. It is naturally sweetened by using ripe pears and naturally gluten free using ground almonds.  It is also vegan using chia seed eggs! BUT it doesn't taste healthy, it's delicious! Packing in healthy fats, high fibre and high protein! You could serve warm with icecream. 

Method

1. Slice the pears, keep 3 - 4 slices to the side to put on top 
2. In a pan add the pear with a dash of water and warm on a medium heat 
3. Whilst the pear is stewing, mix the dry ingredients together in a mixing bowl
4. Mix the chia seed & water and leave to the side 
5. Turn the heat up on the pear so that it starts to brown and caramelise
6. Remove from the heat & transfer to a blender 
7. Add the crystallised ginger & yoghurt to the pear and blend on a high setting until smooth 
8. Add the pear puree and chia seed egg to the dry mix, mix well 
9. In a cake tin, layer the pear slices and spray some olive or rapeseed oil 
10. Layer the cake mix in, it will be thick. Spread to the sides
11. Put in the oven for 30-35 minutes
12. Leave to cool for 10 minutes before serving, flip the cake out so the pear slices are on top
