Clafouti, also known as clafoutis is a classic French
dessert which resembles a fruit filled custard or sweet
frittata. While native to the Limousin region of France,
clafouti is made in many other locations as well, and it
is a popular dessert food. Since clafouti is very easy
to make and it has an elegant presentation, it is an
excellent choice of quickie dessert for dinner parties.
The fruit is layered with a dense batter and baked
until the batter puffs up, just like a quiche. The
dessert is allowed to cool slightly before being served
with whipped cream, ice cream, crème anglaise, or
a similar topping. It can be served directly out of the
baking pan also.
