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.

Liked the recipe and will make it again but will add a little more sugar as it was a bit bland….. or will add cinnamon to give it extra flavour….. or maybe brown sugar.
So easy! Really satisfying. Found it when I googled “cooking with soft grapes”…will be a go-to for brunches whether or not I have too-soft grapes or not.
Can this be made with red grapes instead?
Absolutely!
The description states that the batter is thick like a flan batter, but the directions state blend to make a nice thin batter. Please clarify if batter should be thick or thin. Thx. Can’t wait to try it! I’ve all ingredients ready to go.
Thank you for noticing! Just a typo. Blend your batter until it is completely smooth and creamy.
I would like to try making this. What size is the baking dish
I used a standard pie dish for this one! It’s about 9″. You can also use a cast iron skillet, you can check out my cherry clafoutis for more instructions on the skillet 🙂
Making it again today. I made it with frozen red grapes and it is delicious! Plus super fast and easy👍 Thank you for the recipe.
So glad you liked it!
