Blueberry Peach Clafoutis

As summer begins to draw to an end, I find that I want to hold onto the summer flavours just that much more. This is a traditional French dessert made with a thick custard and has a beautiful flavour. I use an oval dish that I picked up at Ikea. You don’t need to run out and buy something to make this a glass pie dish works as well. My Blueberry Peach Clafoutis is based on the traditional clafoutis, but instead of cherries, I wanted to use some other summer flavours.

The Batter:

The clafoutis batter is a straightforward one that is very similar to that of custard or flan where eggs and milk make up most of the recipe. You can change out the fruit and berries for just about any other kind. You might want to choose something that has a strong flavour. The more traditional clafoutis uses whole cherries including the pits, this gives it an almondy flavour. Other alternatives are raspberries, apricots, or even cooked apples. For the best batter, make sure to use room temperature eggs and milk.

Fruit Preparation:

I love peaches, so it was only natural to use them in this recipe, and my dad had brought me some wild blueberries. For best results, you will want to peel the peaches and then cut them into eight sections. They will be soaking in the rum syrup for a while, and without the skin, they will absorb more which makes them delicious. I never really measured out the blueberries I just added enough to the bottom of the dish to cover it. After the peaches soaked in the rum syrup, you can either discard it or drizzle some of it over the fruit before adding the batter to the dish.

This is super easy, and it turns out very lovely. You will want to serve it warm and you can either put some whipping cream or ice cream on top. I hope you enjoy my Blueberry Peach Clafoutis recipe because my family sure did. Good Luck and Happy Baking.
