Blackberry Clafoutis
This simple custard-like dessert is perfect for when you're in a hurry and need something to wow your guests. The french custard is traditionally made with black cherries, but we're using juicy blackberries for this recipe! Feel free to change it up with the fruit of your choice— cherries, apples, pears, the list is endless!Serves: 8-12
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour sifted
- ½ cup sugar
- ¼ tsp salt
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp orange extract
- 2 cups blackberries
- 2 tbsp butter cut into small cubes
- powdered sugar to dust
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 10-inch pie plate with butter and dust with flour.
- In a small bowl whisk together flour, sugar and salt. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk the eggs lightly. Then mix in the heavy cream, milk, vanilla and orange extract.
- Slowly add the dry mixture into the wet mixture and stir with a whisk until all clumps are gone and the batter is smooth. (If the batter is clumpy, beat with a hand mixer for a minute or two). Pour the batter into the prepared pie plate. Scatter the blackberries and butter cubes over the batter.
- Bake 40 to 50 minutes or until clafoutis is barely set. Dust with powdered sugar and serve warm!
