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
