It’s blackberry season here in Washington State and as usual the harvest is abundant. The grow practically everywhere and on our property alone we have over an acre of them. Blackberries taste phenomenal in baked goods and it seemed only fitting to feature them in this classic French dessert. If you’ve had clafoutis before and like it, get ready to try this blackberry clafouti, it’s simply incredible!
Clafoutis dates back to at least the 19th century from the rural Limousin region of south-central France. It’s a beautifully hilly region with some of France’s most charming villages.
Clafoutis is a simple dessert featuring fresh fruits and a flan-like batter. Though traditionally made with black cherries, other fruits are commonly used as well, such as plums, pears and apples. Cranberries are also used and make a nice seasonal variation for the Christmas holidays.
Clafoutis is one of those recipes that lends itself beautifully to any number of flavor variations. Use this base batter recipe with any fruit of your choosing and add some complementary extracts, fruity liqueurs, and/or citrus zests.
Clafoutis is not only incredibly delicious, it’s also one of the easiest desserts to make. That’s always a winning combination!
And we’re confident you’re going to love this Blackberry Clafoutis as much as we do!
Blackberry Clafoutis Recipe
Let’s get started!
Place all ingredients except for the blackberries in a blender and blend until smooth.
Generously butter a 1 1/2 quart baking dish and lay the blackberries on the bottom. Pour the batter over the blackberries.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Bake the clafouti for 30-40 minutes or until it’s golden brown on top, set but slightly jiggly. The consistency of clafouti should neither be firm nor runny but somewhere in between.
Remove it from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Sprinkle with powdered sugar.
Don’t be alarmed if the clafouti begins to crack in places as it cools. That’s normal and is just the nature of clafoutis.
Serve while warm with whipped cream, vanilla ice cream, or our homemade Vanilla Sauce.
Enjoy!
