Today I’m sharing a simple French pear pudding that’s wonderfully easy to make and tastes delicious. This lovely recipe comes from a traditional French cookbook called Cooking with the Young Chefs of France, and the author describes it perfectly — it couldn’t be easier to make, and it’s just as good served warm or cold.
This is a simple baked pear dessert with soft fruit suspended in a light, creamy batter. There’s only a small amount of flour in the recipe, which means it converts beautifully to gluten-free, and it’s very forgiving. I’ve also tested it with other soft fruits — including canned peaches — and it works beautifully.
The batter is quick to mix and quite thin — this is exactly how it should be. Taking a little extra time to properly mix the eggs into the flour and sugar, then slowly adding the milk and cream, creates a smoother batter and a more delicate pudding.
The pears are sliced generously and folded through the batter, making this dessert feel rich and comforting, yet surprisingly light. Finished with a sprinkle of sugar and dots of butter, it bakes until golden, bubbling, and beautifully tender.
I love serving this pear pudding simply with thick, cold cream, but it’s also lovely on its own, warm, cold or at room temperature.
If you enjoy classic French-style desserts, easy homestyle baking, and comforting puddings like this, I think you’ll really love this one.
Warmly,
Lee 🤍

I know I’ve been on a bit of a French cooking streak lately — I tend to go through these phases 😊I do love the French style of cooking though — I think those techniques are really woven into the way we cook. It’s everywhere, really.
I filmed this one a few weeks ago and it’s been waiting its turn, but I just had to share it because it’s so easy to whip up — and I’ve made it lots of times now. Pears always seem to be quite affordable here in Australia too.
My latest phase has been just lovely old-fashioned comfort food, so I have some nice family meals coming over the next few weeks that I’m looking forward to sharing.
Warmly,
Lee
Absolutely delicious and so easy. I subbed tinned peaches and worked brilliantly still. Thank you
Pear cobbler

That looks so good!
I love pears
Im going to try it
Thank you❤
IT'S DIFFICULT TO FIND PEAR LIQUOR:
I HAVE ONE SUGGESTION..
A Croatian Pear Liquer, available in bottle shops.. called " Kruškovac " in Croatian language:
Aussie pronunciation " Krushkovatz " :
This stuff is elegant to drink. Approx. $40-$50 per bottle.
خلی زیبا حمایت شدی خواهر عزیز حمایت متقابل 🙏🙏❤️🇦🇫😍
I'min the market for a pear recipe but am allergic to milk and cream so this one is out. On reflection, it has too much sugar — the pears I get are very sweet — and the liquidy batter does not appeal to me. I guess I will have to look elsewhere.
C'est une chef cuisinière hors pair de l'hémisphère sud.
Bonjour Lee, je fais souvent des clafoutis, même si le «vrai» clafoutis ne se fait que aux cerises. J’utilise toutes sortes de fruits, j’ajoute un peu de rhum et 40 g d’amandes en poudre. C’est délicieux. Je vais faire votre recette avec amandes et rhum 😅 Merci pour le partage. Je vous regarde depuis l’Est de la France.
Love your beautiful pudding bowl ♥️
I love your accent. You sound absolutely spangled! Aussies always sound like they are completely smashed. 😂
Great recipe btw.
I've never seen a recipe with pears. This looks lovely, and delicious, too. Thank you! 🍐🍐🍐
thanks looks nice
Very nice
I would have some vanilla ice cream with it. Looks divine. And I immediately thought it would be great with peaches too. Definitely a little splurge on indulgence, but a welcome one here or there. Yum 😋
Thank you for this recipe! Definitely will try it; I love pears.
I bet it would be good with apples also. And possibly a little brown sugar on top.
What is French cuisine but butter, more butter and dollop of "thick" (!!) cream? Sorry, brought here by YT !
Would this work with pitted cherries?
This reminds me of a French sweet called flognarde, which I think is traditionally made with cherries, but i was introduced to it when I found a recioe for a mango flognarde using coconut milk. Being a big fan of mango, I had to try it, the dish was simple and delicious. The batter seems the same, but it was made like a quiche with the fruit spread into the pan and the batter was poured over the fruit.
With the custard should be delicious 😋
That looks delicious! I'm a big fan of pears, very good for the digestion. As a Brit, I reckon a drop of custard would pair well with that (pun intended).
Could one use frozen fruit?
Wow, yummmmmm! ❤
Imagine the trial? Omg it would be television gold! The trial would push the Afroman trial to shame! Please, Erika, sue Brewski
