Blackberry Clafoutis
Description
The Blackberry Clafoutis recipe involves blending milk, cream, eggs, flour, sugar, butter, vanilla extract, a touch of salt, and optional fruit liqueur into a smooth batter. Fresh or frozen blackberries are buttered into a baking dish and the batter is poured over. Baking at 375°F for 30 to 40 minutes produces a set, slightly wobbly custard with a gently browned top that contrasts nicely with the juicy berries. The final texture balances between firm and creamy custard, highlighting the berries' fruity acidity.
Once out of the oven, it cools briefly before serving, often dusted with powdered sugar and paired with whipped cream, vanilla ice cream, or vanilla sauce to add creaminess and sweetness. Its warm, comforting character makes it suitable for dessert after a meal or as a special sweet treat.
Though clafoutis may crack as it cools, that is a normal characteristic of this baked custard dessert and does not affect taste or quality.
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup milk whole
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 3 egg large
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons butter melted
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract quality pure
- 2 tablespoons fruit liqueur optional, of choice, e.g., orange, raspberry
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3 cups blackberries fresh or frozen
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. To make the batter place all ingredients except for the blackberries in a blender and blend until smooth.
- Generously butter a 1 1/2 quart baking dish and lay the blackberries on the bottom. Pour the batter over the blackberries.
- Bake the clafoutis for 30-40 minutes or until it's golden brown on top, set but slightly jiggly. The consistency of clafoutis should neither be firm nor runny but somewhere in between.
- Remove it from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Sprinkle with powdered sugar. Serve warm with whipped cream, vanilla ice cream, or our homemade vanilla sauce.
Notes
- Some cracking on the surface after baking is normal for clafoutis and does not indicate a problem.
