Swiss Pear Recipe

Description
Elegant and easy. I got this out of one of my community cookbooks, but it tastes like something a restaurant in Atlantic City New Jersey used to make.



Ingredients

 * 1 	 cup   whipping cream, well chilled
 * 2 	tablespoons sugar
 * 1 (29 	ounces) can pears in heavy syrup, drained,reserve 2 1/2 ounces of syrup
 * 4 	ounces German cooking chocolate

Directions
Whip cream until thick, add sugar and continue to whip until thick. Drain pears well. Melt chocolate with reserved syrup. Put pears in a large bowl, a glass bowl makes a nice presentation. Cover pears with whipped cream. Cool chocolate mixture, then pour or spoon chocolate carefully over whipped cream. Chill well.
