Poire belle Hélène (pronounced [pwaʁ bɛl‿elɛn]; German: Birne Helene) is a dessert made from pears poached in sugar syrup and served with vanilla ice cream and chocolate syrup. It was created around 1864 by Auguste Escoffier and named after the operetta La belle Hélène by Jacques Offenbach.[1] Simpler versions replace poached pears with canned pears and sliced almonds.
