About a year ago I discovered this wonderful French dessert, the clafoutis or sometimes spelled as clafouti. It is now one of my favorite desserts to bake in the summer. I have made this with cherries and apricots before. This is the first time I made it with green grapes and I believe this is my favorite version of it.
It is such a beautiful and delicious dessert, just thinking about it now, makes me wish I had a slice in front of me. Normally the clafoutis is made with black cherries with their pits in, supposedly the pits release a wonderful flavor as the clafoutis bakes. The batter itself is thick like a flan batter and it’s super easy to make. The clafoutis is also dusted off with powdered sugar, but this time I didn’t because I find it is sweet enough for me.
Ingredients:
- 1 lb green grapes
- 1 3/4 cup milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 4 eggs
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 1 cup flour
- 0.4 (3.5 oz) cup sugar
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 375 F degrees.
- Butter your baking dish with some of the melted butter.
- Place the grapes on the bottom of the baking dish.
- In a blender add the flour, sugar, vanilla extract, remaining butter, eggs, and milk. Blend everything together so that it makes a nice thin batter.
- Pour the clafoutis batter over the grapes.
- Bake for about 1 hour or until the center is set.
- Dust with powdered sugar if preferred.
Enjoy!
