COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Can I Make Clafoutis with Other Fresh Berries or Fruits?

Absolutely! While Raspberry Clafoutis is a classic, you can experiment with various fruits such as fresh cherries, blueberries, black cherries, or sliced peaches. Each fruit lends a unique flavor and texture to the dish, allowing you to customize it according to your preferences or the season.

How do I store Raspberry Clafoutis?

To store, cover the clafoutis with plastic wrap and refrigerate. It’s best when enjoyed fresh, but you can refrigerate leftovers for up to two days. This recipe does not freeze well, as the custard and fresh fruit can become soggy.

Can I reheat clafoutis?

Yes, you can reheat it in a 300 degree F oven for about 10-15 minutes to maintain its texture.

What variations can I make with this recipe?

Feel free to add some whipped cream on top, add in almond extract to the batter, swap the white sugar for brown sugar, use regular flour instead of gluten-free flour – the possibilities are endless!

Can I Prepare Raspberry Clafoutis in Advance?

While it’s best enjoyed fresh, you can prepare the batter in advance and refrigerate it. When ready to serve, pour the batter over the raspberries and bake. This can save you time and allow you to enjoy freshly baked Raspberry Clafoutis whenever you like.

Can I Use Frozen Raspberries?

While fresh raspberries are the ideal choice, you can use frozen raspberries in a pinch. Just be sure to thaw them and drain any excess liquid before adding them to the batter. This will help maintain the right texture and prevent excess moisture in the clafoutis.

What Makes Raspberry Clafoutis Different from a Regular Cake?

Clafoutis has a unique texture that’s somewhere between a custard and a pancake, setting it apart from traditional cakes. The fruit is placed at the bottom of the baking dish, and the batter is poured over it. During baking, the batter puffs up around the fruit, creating a delightful contrast between the creamy interior and the golden, slightly crispy exterior.

Why Chambord Liquor in the Recipe?

Chambord liquor is a delightful addition that infuses a subtle hint of raspberry flavor into the clafoutis. It enhances the overall taste and complements the fresh raspberries. If you prefer not to use alcohol, you can substitute it with raspberry extract or even a little lemon zest.

What can I serve with Raspberry Clafoutis?

Feel free to serve with a large scoop of ice cream on the side!

Substitutions + Alternatives

Can I use All-Purpose Flour?

Yes, All-Purpose Flour can be used. Use the same amount that is listed in the ingredients, but swap with all purpose.

Can I use regular dairy?

Feel free to make this recipe your own. I use dairy-free milk, but feel welcome to choose your preferred dairy option without any recipe adjustments. Unless specified otherwise, you have the flexibility to use the milk of your choice for the recipe.

Note: While almond milk is an option, it is less preferred due to its liquid consistency. Consider opting for a milk alternative with a thicker texture.
