History of National Pears Hélène Day

Pears Hélène is a French dessert made from warm, succulent pears boiled to perfection. These pears are then topped with vanilla ice cream and chocolate sauce.

This dish was born when French chef Auguste Escoffier made this dessert in honor of Jacques Offenbach's operetta La belle Hélène around 1864. No wonder this dish creates harmony in everyone's mouth!
