Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F). Halve and core the 220g pear, keeping the stem half pretty for plating.
2
In a small saucepan, combine the red wine, orange zest and juice, cinnamon and allulose. Bring to a gentle simmer for 3-4 minutes until slightly syrupy.
3
Whisk the cocoa powder into the warm wine syrup until fully dissolved and smooth, then remove from heat.
4
Place the pear halves cut-side down in 2 individual baking dishes (180ml each). Pour the cocoa-wine syrup evenly over the pears.
5
Cover loosely with foil and bake for 20 minutes, then uncover and bake a further 10 minutes, basting once with the syrup, until the pears are tender when pierced.
6
While the pears bake, whisk the whey protein isolate into the Greek yogurt until smooth and lump-free; chill until needed.
7
Remove the pears from the oven and let rest 5 minutes. Spoon the pan syrup over each portion.
8
Top each dish with a spoonful of the protein yogurt, scatter with fresh raspberries and toasted chopped walnuts, and serve warm.
