Clafoutis is a batter pudding invented in french "Limousin" in the XIXth century. It is traditionally made with cherries.
Nougat has been made since antiquity all around the orient. It was then made with almonds, honey and spices.
It has been imported to marseille first then to Montélimar during the XVIIth century.
Nowdays, Montélimar is still the french capital of nougat.
It is not before the XVIIIth century that they added egg whites melted with honey & sugar to give it its airy texture.

Who doesn't love Clafoutis. The combination of fruits is fantastic, but I'm especially intrigued by the addition of nougat. Heaven.
