Note

For a sweeter dessert, add 1-2 tablespoons of honey or maple syrup before blending.

If the mixture freezes too hard, allow it to sit out for 10-15 minutes before serving to achieve a softer, scoopable consistency.

Fresh pears can be substituted for canned, but may require peeling and coring. Ensure they are ripe for best sweetness.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
