Clafoutis used to be one of my favorite summer desserts. The summer has gone but there are still some beautiful fruits at the market. I’ve made my vegan clafoutis with plums. In my opinion they are perfect for this dish.
What is clafoutis anyway? It is flan-like dessert based on eggs. After my omelette experiments I found out that the right combination of tofu and chickpea flour does the magic and this recipe only proves it.
My vegan clafoutis is only lightly sweetened so feel free to increase the amount of sugar slightly or use more powdered sugar on top. Also you can serve it with a nice scoop of vegan ice-cream.
Best to be served warm.
