Delicious French Fresh Plum Clafoutis Recipe
Plums in summer can be a real treat. They are red but can be more tart than sweet. That’s why baking them in this sweet creamy custard based Plum Clafoutis makes them so delicious and desirable.
Fresh Plum Clafoutis Recipe
Don’t you just love fresh plums in season during summer? They are so meaty with a beautiful dark skin. I love eating them just as a fruit but my kids find them a bit too tart. So I make this delicious custard based French tart which they absolutely adore. I think you will love it too.

Let’s talk ingredients and substitutes (Save/Pin)
- Plum – I usually only have made these with fresh plums in season. But I bet you can make these with frozen too! If you can’t find fresh plums this recipe is delicious with almost all berries like my Blackberry Clafoutis.
- Cream – adds a nice creamy texture to the custard base.
- Milk – keeps it light. It’s best to use whole milk instead of skim. Skimmed might keep it soft.
