Fig Clafoutis

Fig Clafoutis 

Fig Clafoutis is a classic French dessert, it is one of the easiest French desserts you can ever make, simply perfect for fig season. It is best served warm with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream

Wondering what to do with all those figs? I made the best fig clafoutis this week! I can’t stop eating it! There is always room for dessert! I think I might have to make a second one and freeze it for later. 😋
