Blackberry Clafoutis

By Casa de Suna

Published Sep 14

A blackberry clafoutis is a French tart studded with beautiful blackberries, but it’s more than just a photogenic treat.

We cook our blackberries until they’re jammy and sweet and dot them in this gorgeous custard to create a cake that’s set in the center but still soft and creamy. Bring this to your next dinner and become the instant star of the show.

How to Make It

Difficulty: Easy

Overall Time: 1 hr 25 min

Prep Time: 15 min

Cook Time: 1 hr + 10 min cooling time

Serves: 6

INGREDIENTS
  • 3 large eggs
  • ⅔ cup granulated sugar, plus extra for sprinkling baking dish
  • Seeds from 1 vanilla bean
  • ¼ tsp kosher salt
  • ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ cup whole milk
  • ½ cup 35% cream, plus extra for serving
  • 32 blackberries, washed and patted dry on paper towel
  • Icing sugar for dusting (optional)

INSTRUCTIONS
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Generously butter an 11 x 8-inch (2.3 L) oval baking dish. Sprinkle lightly with granulated sugar, tapping out excess. Set aside.
  2. Whisk eggs with sugar, vanilla seeds, and salt in a large bowl until smooth. Add flour, whisking just until no streaks remain. Whisk in milk and cream until a smooth batter forms (mixture will be thin). Pour batter into prepared baking dish. Scatter blackberries evenly over top.
  3. Bake in the center of oven until clafoutis is golden, set and a paring knife inserted into the centre comes out mostly clean, about 1 hour to 1 hour 5 minutes. Transfer to a rack and cool, 10 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature, dusted with icing sugar, with whipped cream.
