Plum Almond Clafoutis

Clafoutis is a French dessert which traditionally made with black cherries that top with a pudding like batter. Instead of black cherries, I am gonna make this dessert with the excess plums that I have in my fridge. Serve this at the dinner table or weekend get together. Everyone gonna love it especially warm from the oven. Just serve this with some icing sugar, custard, whipping cream or even vanilla ice cream.

Ingredients:

350 grams Plums (halve and pitted)
250 ml       Whipping cream
100 ml        Milk
1                 Vanilla pod
3                  Eggs
80  grams    Caster sugar
80  grams    Ground Almonds

How to do it?

Pre-heat the oven to 180ºC. Lightly grease a shallow baking dish.

In a saucepan, pour in cream and milk. Split the vanilla pod and scrape the seed out. Put the vanilla pod and seed into the cream mixture. Bring to a simmer over low heat, then remove from the heat and allow to cool slightly.

In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar and ground almonds. Remove the vanilla pod from the cream mixture and stir the cream mixture into the egg mixture until well combined.

Arrange the plums in the baking dish. Pour the batter over the plums and bake for 35 - 40 minutes, or until golden. Serve warm with dusted icing sugar, custard, whipping cream or ice cream if desired.

Notes:

You may substitute the plums with other fruits like peach, cherries, dried prunes and etc.
