3/4 cup cranberry-raspberry juice cocktail
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
2 teaspoons unsweetened cocoa

Peel each pear; remove core from bottom end, leaving stem end intact. If needed, slice about 1/4 inch from base of each pear so that it will sit flat. Brush pears with orange juice.

Combine powdered sugar, cocoa, and cornstarch in a small saucepan. Gradually add water, stirring until smooth. Cook, stirring constantly, over medium heat until slightly thickened. Remove from heat, and stir in vanilla.

Spoon 1 tablespoon chocolate sauce into each of 2 dessert dishes; place pears on sauce. Drizzle 1 tablespoon chocolate sauce over each pear. Garnish with orange zest, if desired.
