Garden Blackberry Clafoutis

A clafoutis is a classic French dessert that’s simple to make but looks and tastes impressive. This version uses fresh blackberries straight from the garden to create a deliciously sweet and fruity treat.

Ingredients

1 cup fresh blackberries, rinsed and drained
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 eggs, room temperature
1 cup milk
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
Powdered sugar, for dusting

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F and grease a 9-inch pie dish with non-stick cooking spray.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour and salt until well combined.
In a separate large bowl, beat the eggs until light and frothy. Add in the milk, granulated sugar, and vanilla, and whisk to combine.
Gradually whisk in the flour mixture until well combined. Add the melted butter and whisk until smooth.
Arrange the blackberries in the prepared pie dish, and pour the batter over them. Make sure the blackberries are evenly distributed throughout the dish.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the clafoutis is golden brown and set in the center.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Dust with powdered sugar and serve warm or at room temperature.

Serving Suggestions

This clafoutis is best served warm, topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. It’s the perfect dessert for a summer evening, and can be enjoyed with a glass of dry white wine for an extra special treat.
