Make the blue cheese ice cream

Crumble in 1 cup of blue cheese and whisk until smooth. Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions. Transfer the churned ice cream to a container and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm.

Peel, core, and dice 2 ripe pears. In a saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the diced pears, 1/4 cup of brown sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the pears are tender and caramelized, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool.
