Poached pears with florentines

Soft, silky pears served with crunchy biscuits wrapped in whipped cream and finished off with a trickle of melted chocolate. Be sure to chill the whole dish for a few minutes at the end, so that the chocolate topping has a chance to crisp. A quick, luxurious dessert that everyone will love.
