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

Recipe

Wash the plums and quarter them. Pour the lemon juice over and marinate for 10 minutes. Mix the sugar with the cinnamon. Warm the butter in a nonstick frying pan and add the plums. Sprinkle with the sugar-cinnamon mixture. Cook over low flame till just tender but not mushy (a bit al dente is best). Serve at room temperature with or without ice cream.
