Center Filling:
Cream together 1/2 c. Powdered Sugar and 8oz. Cream Cheese. Mix in 1 c. Sour Cream or Whipped Cream.
Pear Sauce:
2 very ripe Anjou Pears, peeled and diced.
1/2 Vanilla Bean, split
Combine pears, vanilla bean and 1 tbs. water in a heavy saucepan. Cook 7-10 minutes covered; then uncover and cook until all but 3 tbs remain. Scrape the seeds from bean into pears and process in a food processor until smooth.
Use either a graham cracker or baked pie shell (I prefer the plain pie crust). Fill pie shell with cream cheese mixture then top with pear sauce. Serve warm or chilled - Delicious either way!!!
