Spiced pomegranate poached pear and custard yoghurt parfaits

Other 15 Mins Prep · 20 Mins Cook

Peel the pears, then slice them into quarters and remove the cores.
Place the pomegranate juice, sugar and whole spices in a small saucepan and bring to a gentle simmer over a medium heat. Add the pear quarters and poach for 10–12 minutes until tender but still holding their shape. Remove from the heat and allow to cool in the liquid.
In a small bowl, whisk together the custard and the yoghurt until smooth and combined.
Once the pears are cool, remove them from the saucepan and set aside. Place the saucepan over a medium-high heat and reduce the poaching liquid to a thin syrup. Set aside to cool completely.
To assemble the parfaits, layer the custard-yoghurt mixture at the bottom of four glasses. Top with poached pear slices along with a spoonful of the syrup. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
When ready to serve, top with pomegranate seeds, crunchy granola and more spiced syrup over the top for extra sweetness.
