Step 2Using a vegetable peeler, peel the pears, leaving them as smooth and neat as possible; try to leave the stem intact. Add the pears to the pot, and cover with a circle of wax or parchment paper to prevent discoloration as the pears cook. Use a lid or a heatproof plate that will fit just inside the diameter of the pot to hold the parchment down. Place the chocolate chips and salt in another small bowl and pour the hot cream over. Place each pear on a plate and drizzle each with chocolate sauce.
