Clafoutis [klafuti] is a baked french dessert, traditionally made using cherries. Fresh cherries are only in season once a year, so this is a perfect pudding for the festive season! It’s probably one of the easiest desserts you will make, plus it will impress your guests, pleasing to both the eyes and taste buds. Sweet, fresh cherries are baked in a simple batter of milk, sugar, eggs, and flour.
Fun fact; Clafoutis originated in a south-central region in France called Limousin. ‘Clafir’ means ‘to fill’, so in essence, you are filling a dish with fruit and batter.
If you have made the custard in advance;
To reheat the custard: Carefully over low heat while constantly stirring and serving.
It won’t last long enough to keep, it’s too delicious! BUT, if you do have leftovers, you can refrigerate it for up to a week.
Yes, in Summer you can use fresh berries instead of cherries. We recommend blueberries. You can also make a plum or apricot clafoutis, and get creative with flavours if you’re experimenting away from the traditional clafoutis.
You can substitute the flour with an all-purpose gluten-free flour mix, i.e: the Health Connection Gluten-Free Flour mix found in our health department. (Please note that we have not tested this)
