Prunes in Armagnac image

This sweet dessert is a perfect ending to a bistro-inspired meal. You can prepare prunes anytime from two weeks in advance, for maximum flavor, to the evening of the dinner. To play up the French theme, serve with creme fraiche instead of ice cream.

This dessert is a true delight! The prunes are plump, juicy, and bursting with flavor, and the Armagnac adds a sophisticated touch. I served it with a dollop of crème fraîche, which perfectly complemented the richness of the prunes.
