Red Currant Clafoutis

Red Currant Clafoutis is a baked French-style custard dessert featuring tart red currants suspended in a thin, lightly sweet batter made from flour, sugars, eggs, and almond milk. The clafoutis sets firm with golden edges and a delicate, soft center. Fresh currants and powdered sugar garnish the finished dessert, enhancing its bright flavor and appealing look.

Ingredients

  • cooking spray
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar white
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 egg large
  • 3/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon, Blue Diamond Vanilla Unsweetened Almond Breeze
  • 1/2 cup currants removed from their vines, plus more for garnish, fresh
  • powdered sugar for garnish

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 350F. Liberally grease a 9-inch round baking dish with cooking spray. Set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, mix together the flour, white sugar, brown sugar and salt. Mix in the eggs and almond milk. Whisk until completely combined. The batter will have a few small lumps and be very thin. Allow to rest on the counter while pick off the currants from their vines.
  3. Pour the batter into the baking dish. Sprinkle the currants on top, being sure to spread them out evenly. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set and firm. The clafoutis will puff up slightly in the oven, but will deflate as it sits--not a big deal. Garnish with a few more vines of fresh currants and dust the clafoutis with powdered sugar. Serve with whipped cream, ice cream or enjoy it all by itself.

Notes

  • Fresh red currants removed from stems provide tartness that balances the sweet batter.
  • If red currants are unavailable, substitute with champagne grapes, blueberries, or blackberries.
  • Greasng the baking dish well prevents sticking and helps develop a golden crust.
