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.

Was easy to make with on-hand ingredients. Used green grapes that were just getting a little old to serve to company but were juicy in the dessert. Had a flan base more than a cake base. Used less sugar for my diabetic husband and was still great. Will make it again!

Glad to hear you liked it.

Do you keep skin on grape?
jo says
Yes, the whole grape. 🙂
Jolanda says
I tried this today be ause of an overload of cherries received from my neighbour. However you do not inform us on the size of the dish used. So I was left with half the batter. 375F is also very high and thus it is o early brown even though I reduced the temperature to 150C for the second one half of the time. The time is also very long I read other recipes after the failure of my cake and they said 30 minutes. But this all probably has to do with the size of the dish.
Jo Cooks Team says
Hi Jolanda, I think this recipe for Cherry Clafoutis will work better for you. While 375F worked perfectly for us with both these recipes, every oven is different. If you feel it’s browning too soon you are free to reduce the temperature.
Gwen says
Wow! Super recipe. I’m not much of a baker, but this was so easy to make and tasted great!. I only had half the quantity of ingredients and made four little “tarts”. Served each on a base of custard and a dollop of ice cream on top. A real winner. Thank you.

I had a bunch of champagne grapes in my fridge and not much to make with them and was thrilled to find this recipe! It turned out light and fluffy and looked as delicious as it tastes.
Patsy says
For counting calories how how many ozs are in a serving?
Jo Cooks Team says
Hi Patsy! We didn’t weigh the final result so we wouldn’t have that information. Nutritional info is for 1/6 of the clafoutis.
Susan says
Is the sugar measured by volume or weight?
Jo Cooks Team says
For US it’s measured in volume (oz) but you can switch to metric for weight in grams.
