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.

Fresh Plum Clafoutis Recipe

Let’s talk ingredients and substitutes.

  •  Plums  – 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 skimmed . Skimmed might keep it soft.
