Description
Clafoutis is a classic French-style baked custard dessert made with juicy cherries and blueberries suspended in a lightly sweet, creamy batter that feels elegant, comforting, and effortless.
Ingredients
1 cup cherries, pitted
1 cup blueberries (or additional cherries)
4 large eggs, room temperature
1/2 cup + 1 tablespoon superfine sugar, divided
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup + 3 tablespoons butter, melted and divided
1 1/4 cups milk
1 tablespoon powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C / 350°F and grease a large baking dish with 3 tablespoons of melted butter.
- Spread the cherries and blueberries evenly over the bottom of the prepared dish.
- In a bowl, whisk the eggs with 1/2 cup superfine sugar until smooth.
- Add the flour and mix well to remove any lumps.
- Pour in the remaining melted butter and milk, stirring until the batter is silky and fully combined.
- Carefully pour the batter over the fruit, ensuring even coverage.
- Bake for 35–40 minutes until set and a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and sprinkle the remaining superfine sugar and powdered sugar over the top.
- Allow to cool slightly before serving.
Notes
Clafoutis will puff while baking and settle as it cools.
Frozen fruit can be used if thawed and well-drained.
Serve warm or chilled, dusted with extra powdered sugar.
Individual ramekins can be used for presentation.
