    Recipe updated September 23, 2021

    If it is not abundantly clear by now, I love French desserts! They are what I grew up with living in Montréal and I adore the variety of what you can have. Clafoutis is a perfect custard based dessert packed full of fruit. This is my step by step guide to make a bunch of different clafoutis recipes. Let’s dive in!

    Do you eat Clafoutis hot or cold?

    You can eat it both ways, either is totally fine. If you want to eat it directly out of the oven, I would sprinkle some powdered sugar on top, and serve with whipped cream or ice cream. If you enjoy it chilled, maybe just the powdered sugar and whipped cream (no need for ice cream!) It will firm up when it cools, so, keep that in mind.If you want to eat it warm, let it sit on the counter for 15 minutes once it comes out of the oven.

    How do you pronounce “Clafoutis”

    If you are anything like me, you might be thinking “how does one pronounce “clafoutis”?”. I have an issue because I was raised in a place where we spoke both French and English that my default is to try to say things in French. The French way to say this is “Kla-fu-t”. The English way is “Kla-Fou-tis”.

    Troubleshoot: Why is my clafoutis rubbery? How should clafoutis recipes be baked?

    This dish is essentially a baked custard therefore it relies heavily upon eggs. You may be using too few eggs in your recipe!

    Can I freeze clafoutis?

    Because it is a custard, it typically will not freeze well. I would advise it be eaten within a couple of days after being kept in the fridge.

    Why is this labelled as clafoutis recipes?

    The reason is it “recipes” is because you can add in whatever fruit you would like. Traditionally, as mentioned above, clafoutis is made with cherries. However, if you are like my husband and I, you may not like cherries. So, these clafoutis recipes can use cherries, blueberries, blackberries, strawberries, and stone fruits! The clafoutis recipes world is your oyster.

    What do you need for clafoutis recipes?

    If you are anything like me, you might be thinking “how does one pronounce “clafoutis”?”. I have an issue because I was raised in a place where we spoke both French and English that my default is to try to say things in French. The French way to say this is “Kla-fu-t”. The English way is “Kla-Fou-tis”.

    You likely have most of what you need already in your kitchen!

    1. 3 eggs
    2. ⅓ cup almond flour
    3. 2 tablespoon brown rice flour (you can sub in an all purpose flour here if you’d like – gluten free or regular)
    4. ½ cup sugar
    5. 1 1/14 cup buttermilk
    6. 1 tablespoon vanilla
    7. Blackberries (or other berries or fruit!)

    How do you make it?

    Another thing about these recipes, all you need is a bowl, whisk, and a pie plate!

    1. Set your oven to 375°F
    2. In your mixing bowl, add the eggs, buttermilk, vanilla, sugar, flours, and whisk together until it all comes together. If should be a bit thick but really not too thick.
    3. Grease the pie plate and then line the fruit on the base of the pie plate. Pour the mixture on top of the berries and place the pie plate in the oven. Bake for 45-50 minutes. The edges should be a beautiful golden brown and the middle should be set. To make sure it is set in the middle, insert a toothpick and see if it comes out clean.
    4. Allow it to cool and sprinkle powdered sugar on top. Serve warm or cool (I actually prefer it cool).

    Add all of the ingredients except the berries or fruit to a bowl

    Of all the clafoutis recipes, why make this one?
