Pear Clafouti With Lime And Honey
- CLAFOUTI
- 2-3 slightly under-ripe/firm Bosc or Anjou pears
- juice of 1 medium lime
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1-1/2 teaspoons ground ginger
- fine zest of 1 medium lime
- 2 tablespoons butter - melted
- 4 extra-large eggs
- 1 cup whipping cream
- 1/4 cup liquid honey
- GARNISH
- whipped cream
- additional fine lime zest
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9-inch glass, deep-dish pie plate/pan. Place pan on a baking sheet lined with foil, shiny side up.
- Peel and core the pears, and cut into thin slices/wedges. Place in a medium bowl, add lime juice and gently toss to coat. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk the sugar, ginger and lime zest together until evenly mixed. Whisk in the melted butter. Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking after each one until mixture is light and fluffy. Add the whipping cream in a fine stream and slowly whisk until well blended.
- Pour a thin layer of the egg mixture into the prepared pan. Drain the pear slices in a sieve and attractively arrange them in a single layer atop the egg mixture. Gently pour over the remaining egg mixture. Drizzle the honey over the top in a spiral fashion.
- Bake 30-35 minutes or until the flan is set, and the top is puffed and golden brown.
- Slice and serve warm with a dollop of whipped cream sprinkled with lime zest.
