Pear Clafouti - Ww

jackandfiona's Note:

This is a WW recipe from the Jan/Feb 2003 WW magazine. I have made this dessert several times - it's a lovely light weight dessert that has always had compliments from non WW guests. Apricot or peach halves could be used in place of the pears. Next time I make it, I will try it with Splenda instead of sugar.

Great light dessert, and super easy to throw together. I used light soy milk in place of the skim milk, and I added about 2 tsp. cinnamon to the liquid ingredients, but otherwise followed the recipe exactly. Turned out great, and cooked in the time allotted in the instructions. Thanks for a great dessert!

This was a very nice, not to dweet but sweet enough dessert. Mine had to bake alot more than the time stated, but other than that, this recipe was great!! Thanks for the recipe jackandfiona!

Wow, this really was fantastic. I made it for dessert for Canadian Thanksgiving in place of pumpkin pie, and I loved it. I used peach slices in place of pear halves (I thought I had pears in the cupboard - surprise!), but changed nothing else. Mine took closer to 50 minutes to set, but my oven sucks, so that wasn't a surprise to me. Thanks for posting this!
