Yeah, I had to do some searching to find out just what Pears Helene is.
It's sometimes called Pears Belle Helene, and Expert Village has a video that shows you step by step how to make the dessert. It's a popular dessert in France, and includes chocolate, vanilla ice cream, and sometimes almond cookies.
Here's a recipe from RecipeSource, and here's one from My French Cuisine. I think that pears are sometimes the forgotten fruit (competing with apples and oranges and bananas), so it's time to start eating pears again.
