Last Saturday the ladies at our church met up to celebrate the birthday of one of our friends. It was a big milestone in her life and we all wanted it to be special. Our hostess organized not just an ordinary party but one which involved cooking demonstration – the food prepared during the demo was what we actually ate.

I was assigned to make dessert and guess what I made? My favorite French dessert – Clafoutis.

I made my Strawberry Pecan Clafoutis for the actual demo but prior to that, I made this blueberry version as I haven’t done one with blueberries yet and wanted to try how it would work.

Blueberry Clafoutis

I am glad both turned out well. I can’t even choose which one I prefer as they are both yummy!

I guess, that’s the main reason I love this dessert – you can use your favorite fruits or whatever may be in season and it’s sure to be delicious! After all you can’t go wrong with custard and fruit combo, right? The classic French version of course would be dark cherries and I cannot forget the delicious cherry clafoutis we had in Paris a few years ago.

Blueberry Clafoutis

It was baked completely with stems and pits! Yes, it took a bit of effort to spit the cherry pits but the taste was fabulous. I guess that’s why they don’t remove the pits – as these add a lot of flavors. I know as I have tried both pitted and unpitted cherries in a clafoutis.

At any rate, if you don’t fancy that, then certainly make the clafoutis with blueberries as you surely won’t be disappointed!

Ingredients
 

  • 2½-3 cups blueberries
  • ½ cup all-purpose Flour
  • 1 cup sugar
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 4 large eggs
  • cups half and half or whole milk
  • tsp vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • Generously butter a 9x 9 square baking dish or 10-inch pie plate. Use a lovely pie or baking dish as this will serve as your serving plate, too. Place the blueberries at the bottom of the dish.
  • Combine the flour, sugar, and salt in a bowl. Lightly beat the eggs in a separate bowl. Add the milk and vanilla extract to the beaten eggs and whisk to blend. Pour the milk mixture into the flour mixture at once and quickly stir to avoid lumps. Pour the custard batter over the blueberries.
  • Allow the batter to rest for about 15-20 minutes. In the meantime, preheat your oven to 350 F. 
    Bake for about 45-50 minutes or until the batter has puffed up and the middle part springs back when lightly pressed. Oven heating and temperatures vary so adjust timing accordingly. Mine is firm and perfect at 45 minutes. I suggest serving it warm with a dollop of whipped cream or even some vanilla ice cream! Enjoy!

    OH my…this looks delicious. I absolutely LOVE blueberries. It looks like a wonderful custard type cake….with so much blueberry goodness.

  3. April 7, 2017 / 7:08 pm

    the juiciness from blueberry would have given nice flavour to the clafoutis. custard with whole milk would have added lot of richness to the dish

  4. April 7, 2017 / 8:28 pm

    I've never made or tasted this French dessert. I'm sure any fruit would make it amazing. I like the combination of a pudding center and the fruit on top. Fruit desserts have always bee my favorite. I'll have to make this for my family.

  5. April 7, 2017 / 8:35 pm

    This looks amazing and I love that you can customize with fruit you may have on hand. The recipe sounds really easy as well!

  6. April 7, 2017 / 11:35 pm

    Wow, I love how easy this dessert is to make! The blueberries look amazing.

    I love Clafoutis I actually make it with cherries but now I am inspired to make it like yours looks so good!

    This has got to be one of my favorite desserts when I want something simple. Your recipe sounds delicious

  9. April 8, 2017 / 7:51 pm

    This is such a lovely dessert. We can use any berries that is in season, though blueberries might be my first choice. The colors are just so beautiful!

  10. April 9, 2017 / 1:00 am

    Looks amazing !!I've been making this recipe off and on for a number of years. I have over the years used all kinds of fruits and mixtures, depending on what I have on hand. Lemon or orange zest kicks it up a notch as well.

    I've always been afraid of making clafoutis just because it sounds too exotic and complicated. Boy, was I ever wrong! I can't wait to try this! Have you made it with other berries as well?

    • April 9, 2017 / 8:39 pm

      Yes! I have made clafoutis with both strawberries and cherries! It's so easy so I highly recommend making it especially with all the summer berries that would be available soon! Thanks!

  12. April 9, 2017 / 10:53 pm

    I've never attempted to make clafoutis, that's definitely going to change! Looks amazing!

  13. April 10, 2017 / 12:22 am

    I have tried cheery clafoutis but not tried with any blueberries or strawberries. Your recipe sound easy together as blueberry lover this perfect summer dessert.

  14. April 10, 2017 / 1:27 pm

    Custard and fresh fruits are THE best. This blueberry clafoutis looks absolutely amazing. Blueberries are in season now, and I can't wait to try this. I think my kiddo will love it!

  15. April 10, 2017 / 2:39 pm

    I've never made this before, or I think even tasted it! But this looks so dense and fruity and delicious. Great job!

  16. April 11, 2017 / 8:10 am

    I can't wait for the summer berries to get here so I can try this. Looks amazing!

    It’s not meant to be hard but that shouldn’t go mushy either (as you could see in the photos – it holds its shape). It probably means it hasn’t been baked long enough. Since oven temps and heating vary, a little tweaking on the length of time should do it. I never had any problems with the length of time in this recipe and others never had this issue – so I think it’s just the length of time – perhaps just cook it a bit more until it’s firmer. Also, allow it to chill slightly and not serve right away. While it may be served warm, if desired – if you wish it to be firmer – then make sure to chill it first and allow the custard to set up more. Hope that helps and thank you for stopping by.

      The custard is quite liquidy and not thick so it may be tricky to travel with it. But because it’s so easy to prep – just bring all the ingredients and make it at your friend’s house. Best that way IMHO. Enjoy!
