Plum Clafoutis Without Dough

The classic Clafoutis (fruit tart) is naturally richer with batter. But the flourless version, properly seasoned, can give you the impression of indulgence with far fewer calories, besides, it compensates for the richness of an earlier course. A tiny scoop of ice cream is a good countermeasure, too.The same recipe works with cherries, apples, pears, peaches, apricots. From the book "French Women Don't Get Fat" by Mireille Guiliano.
