It had been years since I made a Clafoutis Recipe, but when we were invited to a potluck dinner, memories of that tasty cherry clafoutis came to mind. I decided a raspberry version was perfect for June!
This delicious Raspberry Clafoutis is a breeze to prepare. You make a simple batter in a blender, arrange fresh raspberries in a greased casserole dish, pour the batter into the dish, and bake!
Why You Must Make
This clafoutis is a perfect dessert for spring or summer when fresh berries are available from your farmers’ market.
It’s a delicious custard speckled with sweet raspberries.
This Country-French dessert will wow your dinner guests, and you can add other fruits, depending on the season (I’ve listed some below in the frequently asked questions).
I’ve also made a Fresh Peach Clafoutis and a delicious Cherry Clafoutis.
Ingredient Notes
Pantry Staples – Sugar, Flour, Butter (not pictured, but used to grease the baking dish)
Eggs – Use large eggs; having them at room temperature allows for easier incorporation.
Almond and Vanilla Extracts – Almond enhances the flavor of berry desserts.
Salt – I use table salt since the smaller grains incorporate more easily. Salt is a potent flavor enhancer and is crucial for desserts to taste their best.
Half and Half – A mixture of equal parts milk and cream. It’s 10-12% milk fat. It gives the custard a rich mouth feel.
Fresh Raspberries – You may substitute another favorite berry. You could try using frozen berries, but note that they may bleed into the batter, so typically fresh berries work best.
Powdered Sugar – Optional for sprinkling over the clafoutis before serving.
