Raspberry Clafoutis

This Raspberry Clafoutis is a simple, but delicious dessert that only takes a few minutes of hand-on time for an impressive payoff. Packed with raspberries, and with the loveliest custardy texture, it’s the perfect sweet ending to a homemade Valentine’s Day dinner. Try experimenting with other fruits, such as cherries, other berries, or even stone fruit, to make it a year round delight!

Ingredients-

  • Softened butter, for greasing the pan
  • 3 eggs
  • 100g/ 1/2c caster sugar
  • Pinch salt
  • 105g/ 3/4c flour
  • 236ml/ 1c milk
  • 118ml/ 1/2c heavy cream
  • 1 tsp almond extract
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Zest of one lemon
  • 170/ 6 oz raspberries
  • Powdered sugar, for dusting

Directions-

  1. Prepare an Emile Henry Heart Baking Dish by brushing it down thoroughly with softened butter. Set aside while you prepare the batter

  2. Preheat the oven to 375°F/190°C. In a large bowl, thoroughly whisk the eggs, sugar, and salt together until smooth. 

  3. Add the flour, whisking until no lumps remain, then repeat with the milk, heavy cream, both extracts, and lemon zest. You should have a very smooth, thin batter. 

  4. Pour the batter into the Baking Dish, and scatter the raspberries over the top of the batter.

  5. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the custard is set. It’s okay if the center still wobbles slightly, as it will continue to set as it cools.

  6. Allow the Clafoutis to cool, before dusting with powdered sugar and serving.
