  • Place the white wine, pear juice, sugar, cardamom, ginger, and cinnamon in a pot. Bring to a boil for 5 minutes until the sugar has dissolved.

  • Transfer the pears along with the liquid to a bowl and let cool. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 3 hours.
  • Remove the pears from the syrup and set them aside. Place the pear syrup in a pot and let it reduce for 10 minutes.
  • Strain the syrup through a sieve and remove the cinnamon stick, divide the syrup into two equal parts and set aside.
  • For the mousse: Finely chop the white chocolate and mix it with the pear liqueur and water.
  • Place the bowl over a water bath and mix until you achieve a smooth consistency and the chocolate has completely melted.

  • Arrange the pear slices on top and repeat this process two more times.
  • Spread whipped cream on top. Use a peeler and shave the corners of the chocolate bar to create strips of white chocolate and scatter them on top.
