Blueberry Clafoutis with Passionfruit Flavour Pearls

Blueberry Clafoutis is our take on a classic French dessert. We added some Double Cream and Passionfruit Flavour Pearls for a little extra yum. Clafoutis is essentially a dense baked custard featuring fabulous seasonal fruit, traditionally Cherries. While Blueberries are in season we wanted to show them off and thought adding a Lemony scented base would be a delicious combination. Blueberry/Lemon/Passionfruit is just meant to be 😍 I enjoy eating the Clafoutis while they are still a little warm. Be careful to not overcook them as they can become a little tough/firm which isn’t nice eating!

What you’ll need – approx. 4 individual serves or one large dish

• Butter for greasing dish/s
• 1 Cup Milk
• 3 Eggs
• 1/2 Cup Sugar
• Dash of Vanilla or scrape a Vanilla Pod if you have one handy
• 1 Lemon – zest, fine
• 2/3 Cup Plain Flour
• Salt – pinch
• 400 – 500g Blueberries (or other fruit if desired)
• Icing Sugar – to dust
• Double Cream
• Passionfruit Flavour Pearls

To do

Pre-heat your oven to 180c. Lightly grease your serving dish/s with a little Butter. Divide the Blueberries evenly between the dish/s.

PS – I bought my terracotta dishes from my local Op shop. They had loads of them for only $1 each

Next

Combine Milk, Eggs, Sugar, Vanilla, Salt and Lemon Zest. Mix well. Add Flour until well mixed and even a little bubbly. (a hand mixer or stick blender work well for this)

Pour the batter evenly over the Blueberries in your dish/s. I kept the depth of the custardy mixture similar to the height of the berries in the dish, I didn’t want too much batter. Sprinkle a little extra Sugar on top. Bake 15 or so minutes for individual dishes or until the centre of the Clafoutis has risen and a little coloured. (it will deflate when it’s out of the oven – don’t panic!)

To serve

Clafoutis are lovely when still a little warm. (also great cold, yes you can re-heat) Simply dust the top with some Icing Sugar. Add a nice spoonful of Double Cream. Lastly add some Passionfruit Flavour Pearls and enjoy.

Until next time
