Pear gratin

This is the perfect dessert for guests. This light and fruity pudding is always well received, even after a decadent meal. Not only does it look pretty, but it can be prepared in advance and is very quick and easy to make, leaving plenty of time for the starter and main course. The fruit can be changed depending on the season. In spring, this gratin tastes amazing with strawberries. But even a fruit mix lends itself well to a gratin.
