### How to Make It
1. **Prepare the Mold**: Line a springform pan or bowl with ladyfingers, standing them upright around the sides.
2. **Poach the Pears**: If using fresh, gently simmer peeled pears in sugar water until soft. Canned pears work too!
3. **Make the Chocolate Filling**: Melt chocolate and fold it into whipped cream. Add gelatin if desired for structure.
4. **Assemble**: Layer sliced pears inside the ladyfinger shell, pour in the chocolate mixture, and smooth the top.
5. **Chill**: Refrigerate for at least 4–6 hours (overnight is best) to set the filling.
6. **Decorate & Serve**: Garnish with cocoa powder, chocolate shavings, or a few pear slices for flair.
