This a dessert that is both incredibly simple and wonderfully delicious. A French classic that is perfect when you need to whip something up in a pinch. It’s only lightly sweet and can be used to showcase other fruit like cherries, pears or apricots.
Berry and Almond Clafoutis
Prep time: 10 minutes | Cook time: 35 minutes | Serves: 4 | Recipe by Kelly Gibney @kellygibney_wholehearted
½ cup ground almonds/almond meal
3 tablespoons flour (regular or gluten free all-purpose will both work well.
⅓ cup caster sugar
Pinch salt
3 Otaika Valley Free Range Eggs
1 Otaika Valley Free Range Egg, yolk
1 cup full fat milk
¼ cup cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups (roughly) berries, fresh or frozen (do not thaw) will both work
INGREDIENTS
Preheat oven to 180°C.
Place the ground almonds, flour, sugar and salt in a large bowl. Whisk briefly to combine.
Add the eggs, egg yolk, milk, cream and vanilla. Whisk until very smooth.
Pour into a well greased 23cm round dish. I like to use a cast iron pan or heavy-bottomed pie dish.
Top with the berries.
Bake for 30-35 minutes until lightly golden and mostly set. A little quivery in the middle is fine.
Allow to cool until just warm.
Serve with cream.
