Unlike the very famous original of this dish, you can save the time with no pitting needed with these and the raspberries kinda float to the top and so you end up with a giant thick custard bottom, so you could easily add another punnet of raspberries to make this more fruity.

A note that technically the title of this is incorrect as the word clafoutis can only be used when you have the cherry version, but anyway, whatever you want to call this French baked custard you can because it's delicious.

Why you'll love this

Versatile and Adaptable

Raspberry Clafoutis is a great dessert to make when you have fresh berries in season. However, this recipe can be adapted to use other fruits as well, such as blueberries, blackberries, or cherries. You can experiment with different flavors and create a unique dessert every time!

Light and Airy Texture

The custard-like batter creates a light and airy texture that's both smooth and creamy. This dessert is not too heavy or sweet, making it the perfect way to end a meal without feeling too full.

Easy to Make

While it may look fancy, this recipe is actually quite easy to make. Our step-by-step guide will walk you through the process, so you can create this delicious dessert with confidence. No need to be a master pastry chef to impress your guests with this elegant dessert!

How to prepare Raspberry Clafoutis

  • Make your custard: Place all ingredients, except your berries, into a blender and blend until smooth.
  • Coat the base: Pour enough custard into the base of your baking dish just to coat the bottom and bake until set.
  • Berry time: Add the berries and remaining custard.
  • Bake: Bake your custard until set and your custard isn't at all jiggly in the center.
  • Cool: Remove and allow to cool.
  • Serve: Spoon into serving dishes, grab a spoon and enjoy!

Tips for the best Raspberry Clafoutis

Sub for a blender: If you don't have a blender to make this, an electric mixer would make this batter just as easily, however, you might need to whisk slightly longer to remove the lumps which the blender cuts through quickly.

Other fruits: The aforementioned replacement of raspberries in this dish for the more traditional cherries or apricots, blackberries or even strawberries could be subbed here, though you'll want the apricots to be sliced to a cherry or raspberry size so they truly bake up nice and soft.

Serve warm...or cold: Though it is recommended to serve this warm as is, I find making ahead and keeping in the refrigerator as kind of a summer breakfast is a great way to eat clafoutis, in fact, I prefer it chilled.

How to make Raspberry Clafoutis:

Preheat the oven to 180°C/350F.

Place the milk, ⅓ cup of the sugar, eggs, extract, salt and flour into a blender and whisk for approximately 1 minute until combined and bubbly.

Pour into the baking dish, just enough to cover the base and place in the oven for approximately 5 minutes or until a thin crust has formed.

Remove from the oven and add the raspberries. Shake lightly to even them out and sprinkle the remaining sugar over evenly.

Pour in the remaining custard mixture and return to the oven for approximately 1 hour or until golden on top.

Remove and allow to cool slightly.

Spoon into serving dishes either warm or cold.
