Gluten Free Coconut Mango Clafoutis Recipe
Clafoutis (pronounced klah-foo-tee) is traditionally a French dessert which consists of black cherries baked in a custardy batter. I love to make clafoutis for three reasons:
1. It is easily made gluten free
2. It is dead simple to make
3. I love to say clafoutis – it makes me feel all French and sophisticated
It is not exactly cherry season so I decided to change up my clafoutis recipe with some mango and coconut instead. Caribbean with a French accent, sort of like St. Barts.
Coconut is featured in three ways in this Gluten Free Coconut Mango Clafoutis recipe – coconut milk, coconut flakes, and Wholesome Sweeteners Coconut Palm Sugar. I couldn’t be bothered peeling and pitting mangos so I just used frozen mango chunks which I thawed first. I threw in a dash of rum and voila! Easy, tasty, gluten, dairy, and refined sugar free, and the best part is that what wasn’t eaten for dessert made an excellent breakfast the next day!
