Clafoutis is a classic traditional French dessert. It is prepared with cherries, but it can be adapted with other fruits such as apricots. Here is my recipe for apricot clafoutis, a delicious variation of traditional clafoutis:
Ingredients :
- 500 g fresh apricots (about 1 pound), cut in half and pitted or 1 large can of apricots in syrup
- 3 eggs
- 250 ml of whole milk (1 cup)
- 120 ml of crème fraîche (1/2 cup)
- 100 g caster sugar (1/2 cup)
- 60 g all-purpose flour (1/2 cup)
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1 pinch of salt
- 2 tablespoons of melted butter
- Icing sugar for sprinkling (optional)
Instructions :
1. *Preheat the oven:*
- Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Butter a 23 cm (9 inch) tart pan or similarly sized gratin dish.
2. *Prepare the apricots:*
- Wash, cut in half and pit the apricots. Arrange them in a single layer, cut side down, in the buttered dish.
3. *Prepare the dough:*
- In a blender, mix the eggs, milk, crème fraîche, powdered sugar, flour, vanilla extract, salt and melted butter. Mix until you obtain a smooth and homogeneous paste.
4. *Pour the batter:*
- Pour the batter over the apricots in the dish. The apricots may float a little, that's okay.
5. *Cook:*
- Bake in the preheated oven for 35-45 minutes, or until the clafoutis is puffed and golden, and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. The edges should be lightly browned.
6. *Let cool and serve:*
- Let the clafoutis cool slightly. It will deflate a little as it cools. Sprinkle with icing sugar before serving if desired.
Advice :
- If fresh apricots are not in season, you can use canned or frozen apricots. Just be sure to drain them well if using canned apricots, and defrost and dry them with paper towels if using frozen apricots.
- Clafoutis is best served warm, but it can also be enjoyed at room temperature.
Enjoy your apricot clafoutis!
