Nectarine Clafoutis is a classic French dessert that perfectly blends the natural sweetness of ripe nectarines with a light, custard-like batter. This baked treat is easy to prepare and offers a delightful balance of fruit and a tender, cake-like texture, making it an ideal dessert for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale

Fruit

  • 3 ripe nectarines, pitted and sliced

Clafoutis Batter

  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted (plus extra for greasing)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch round baking dish thoroughly with some of the unsalted butter to prevent sticking.
  2. Slice and Arrange Nectarines: Slice the nectarines into wedges, removing the pits. Arrange the slices evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish, creating a single layer.
  3. Mix Batter: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and granulated sugar until smooth and slightly frothy. Gradually add the all-purpose flour and continue whisking to avoid lumps. Slowly pour in the whole milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract, mixing until the batter is homogeneous and silky.
  4. Combine and Bake: Carefully pour the batter over the arranged nectarine slices, making sure they are completely covered by the mixture. Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, until the clafoutis is puffed, set in the center, and golden brown on top.
  5. Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and allow the clafoutis to cool slightly. Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally dusted with powdered sugar or accompanied by a dollop of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon or almond extract into the batter.
  • Use ripe but firm nectarines to ensure they hold their shape during baking.
  • Clafoutis can be served warm or cold and pairs well with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
  • This recipe can be adapted with other stone fruits such as peaches, plums, or cherries.
  • Ensure the baking dish is well greased to prevent sticking and easy serving.
