Warm gingerbread cake baked in a skillet on top of a sweet mixture of caramelized pears and flipped over to reveal a stunning presentation, fancy enough for a Thanksgiving dessert.

A little time in the microwave turns ice cream into a luscious, pourable sauce for your pudding. Try it with classic vanilla bean ice cream, or mix it up with coffee ice cream, butter pecan, or your favorite flavor.
