Plum Clafoutis Without Dough
The classic clafoutis (fruit tart) is naturally richer with batter. But as I learned from Dr. Miracle, the flourless version properly seasoned, can give you the impression of indulgence with far fewer calories. A tiny scoop of ice cream is a good countermeasure, too. I often prepare this dessert at home when I want to compensate for the richness of an earlier course and to inject some fruit nutrients and fiber into the meal.INGREDIENTS
12 plums
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon butter

1 tablespoon lemon juice

RECIPE
