    Malagasy fruity clafouti is certainly a dessert influenced by the French.  They colonized Madagascar so French pastries and desserts are a loved remnant from that time. This custard dessert is also enhanced with the most prominent export product from Madagascar their famous  vanilla beans.  I was so excited to find Madagascar vanilla beans at my local supermarket but then nearly fell over at the price, almost $14 for two beans.  Hopefully some of that money is getting back to the very impoverished Malagasy people.  Sometimes this dessert is served cooked well-done which is almost cake-like or sometimes it is served almost like a pudding.  This dessert is easy to make and can be made with just about any type of fruit.  We enjoyed it with cherries and raspberries.
