This classic Puerto Rican dessert has endured the test of time; it’s lightened here by using less sugar. The name comes from its wiggly texture.

Spoon this over warm sweet potato pancakes; it’s also a wonderful accompaniment to ham, white fish, or turkey. Or layer it over a cube of low-fat cream cheese and serve with crackers for an easy party appetizer.

This lovely and surprisingly easy dessert celebrates these fall fruits’ prime season. Prep tip: A Japanese mandolin makes for easy slicing, but a sharp knife will work too. When you reach the pears’ core, remove with a melon baller.
