Chef tips
For an even silkier texture, chill the roasted pear before blending. If you want a lighter consistency, add an extra 30 to 60 ml of milk.
Substitutions
You can replace the honey with maple syrup for a strict vegetarian sweetener option. Plain yogurt can be swapped for Greek yogurt for a thicker texture. Use either low-fat or whole milk based on preference.
