Peach Clafoutis

We had a 3rd annual girl's dessert party held at our place last weekend. All the guests must make a dessert and share with the party. We had less people this year due to schedule conflicts but it was equally good. It gave me a chance to finally use the cool china that my MIL has and decorated the house as a mini tea party .

As for my dessert, at first I was debating between a Peach Clafoutis or a Kiwi Orange Popsicle. Since the weather was on the cooler side that day, I decided to make something warm instead…so I used a Peach Clafoutis recipe from Martha Stewart's Everyday Food magazine.

I actually never looked up what Clafoutis means. According to Wikipedia: Clafoutis is a baked French dessert of black cherries arranged in a buttered dish and covered with a thick flan-like batter. The clafoutis is dusted with powdered sugar and served lukewarm. Even though I have never tasted clafoutis before, it just looked too good to not try it and it was super easy.

The kitchen was filled with the custard intoxicating aroma and it turned out really well. The edges weren't as brown as I wanted it but I think that was because I ambitiously put too much peach slices in it. The custard had a slight dan tat taste to it. The tartness of the peach was a perfect combination to the sweetness of the custard. I wish I could make the presentation a bit nicer but oh well.

Here are some additional pictures from the party

I really enjoyed hosting the party and I hope to do more soon. A friend and I are planning a baby shower in the next few months so I can hardly wait!
