Gluten Free Clafoutis :: Exotic French Dessert Avanti Style ::

Feeling French this summer?  Here's an exotic dessert from the Avanti Natural Kitchen.  It's not difficult to prepare.  It's less eggy and more solid than a traditional clafoutis.  Serve w/ a lovely Sauterne style wine or perhaps a Port or Cava Rosé.
