Plum Clafoutis
With the Bank Holiday right around the corner, we’ve crafted a new and exciting dessert that is easy to make at home. We love putting our unique twist on classic recipes, and today we’re transforming a traditional French dessert into a delightful late-summer treat!
Clafoutis is an elegant and simple French dessert. While the classic version features cherries, our fabulous Executive Pastry Chef, Daniel Pearse, has created a version that showcases the late summer bounty: Plum Clafoutis. With their sweet-tart flavour and beautiful colour, plums are the perfect choice for this dish. Enjoy!
