Grape Clafoutis

Grape Clafoutis – the best clafoutis you’ll ever have. With grapes, not cherries.
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.

I’m not experienced in baking so this might be a dumb question. What kind of baking dish do you use to make clafoutis in? Thanks!

This is a standard pie dish!
Mel Blunt says
I mistakenly bought some sour green grapes and needed something to do with them. Not only was this recipe a great success, it has become one of our favourite desserts for a dinner party. The combination of the astringent grapes and sweet filling is a hit every time with guests. Many thanks.
Jo Cooks Team 2 says
So glad you liked it 🙂
KayKay says
Novice baker here. You mean seedless grapes, correct? I feel dumb asking but I have never heard of a clafoutis and don’t bake much.
Jo Cooks Team says
Any type you like best! If you like seeds get grapes with seeds and if you don’t, get seedless.
Mary Guyot says
Delicious – I served with whip cream. So easy to make. Will definitely do this again. Thank you.
Cherie says
Excellent for sour green grapes. I was going to throw them out, they were so sour, but this recipe turned sour into a sweet tart dessert. I highly recommend.
Deborah Wylie says
I had some grapes getting to the point I wouldn’t use them up and some mixture left from making a quiche so I guessed the rest using your recipe and it was amazing. Thank you!
Jo Cooks Team says
That’s the perfect combo of leftovers! Enjoy 😊
Julie says
I am a novice baker and an unwilling cook at the best of times. My search for a recipe to use up a bunch of grapes I had in the fridge brought me here. I replaced the granulated sugar with golden sugar and used red grapes instead of green. Had the right amount of sweetness and the grapes burst in your mouth making it extra moist. So glad I found this recipe.
Jo Cooks Team says
That’s so wonderful! We’re glad this was a winner.
Megan says
Super easy and yummy! I had a bunch of grapes that needed to be used, I had all the other ingredients on hand & thought what the heck. And it was worth it, I and my 11-year-old son loved it. I will make this again with any fruit that is about to go.
Jenny says
I’ve made a lot of clafoutis and this one rose up beautifully on the sides so I’m going to use this as my base for other fruit clafoutis!!
Teresa says
Do you think this will work for red grapes or will their sweetness need adjustments in recipe.TIA
Jo Cooks Team says
That should be just fine!
Virginia says
Delicious, easy to make and family loves it with a little vanilla ice cream

What can I replace eggs with? I am a vegetarian
Jo Cooks Team says
The eggs are quite important so I’m not sure if you’ll get the exact texture without them, but here’s a great resource for baking without eggs: https://www.biggerbolderbaking.com/egg-substitutes-for-baking/
