Rustic Blueberry Peach Clafoutis

Clafoutis is a rustic French dessert made with fresh fruit that’s baked into a custard-like pudding. This rustic blueberry peach clafoutis recipe is easy to make and absolutely delicious.
Clafoutis is the kind of dessert you would find if you unexpectedly dropped in on your friends in the Provencal countryside around dinner time. They’d ask you to stay, preparing a simple, yet delicious supper. Though no dessert had been planned, Madame would gather some stone fruit and berries, and quickly throw together a Clafoutis.
While a traditional Cherry Clafoutis contains cherries with pits, I’ve never had the nerve or enough insurance to make one that way. I love cherries, but my husband, not so much.
I really wanted everyone to love this dessert, because its so easy to assemble, so I attempted yet another Cherry Clafoutis a couple of weeks ago. With the leftover batter, I made a couple smaller versions using some leftover fruit I had. The creamy custard-like batter holds the fruit together, and just a dusting of powdered sugar and a dollop of lightly sweetened whipped cream compliments it perfectly! My daughter had a friend visiting from college, so I had everyone help with the “taste testing”. One was Raspberry Blueberry…
…but the overwhelming winner was the blueberry peach clafoutis, so I made it again last weekend.
What’s great about a Clafoutis, is how easy it is to make. Just throw the batter ingredients into the blender, layer some fruit, and bake. I added some slivered almonds for crunch and flavor. All versions are made with a gluten free flour blend but of course regular unbleached white flour will work perfectly well.
You really don’t even need to measure the fruit, since the batter seeps in between the fruit. I could not locate my deeper, prettier, white ceramic quiche dish, (the one shown is a shallow tart dish) so I improvised and used my 10″ cast iron skillet. It worked perfectly, and made me wonder if this dish would work really well over a campfire?!
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 10″ cast iron skillet or baking dish. Pour in a thin layer of the batter into the bottom of the skillet or baking dish and bake for about 5 minutes, just to set the batter. Layer the fruit over the batter.
Sprinkle 1/3 cup sugar over fruit.
Layer nuts, if using.
Top with remaining batter.
Return to the oven and continue baking until clafoutis is golden brown and knife comes out clean. Dust with powdered sugar.

Thank you for sharing!
Hi Cynthia. I am going to try this recipe and wanted your feedback…do you think this could be successfully made in 5 oz round creme brulee dishes? Thanks
Summer in a pan. Sounds just delicious!
This Clafoutis is impressive! Beautiful fruit mix.
WOW – simply delightful!
Clafoutis sounds fancy, but they’re so easy to make! Loving the flavors you put together here.
Beautiful dessert and it looks simple enough for a non-baker like me!
I love all the different dishes you’ve used! The mini clafoutis look adorable but I also love the rustic look of the cast iron.
I love all the different ways you showed clafoutis can look! I love the classic cherry clafouti myself!
Me too, but the family loves the combo versions!
I’m always looking for new skillet recipes. Looks like this one is going in there.
Thanks Matt. A clafoutis is such an quick and easy dessert!
Blueberries + peach is one of my favorite summer fruit combos and I bet it’s delicious here. This dessert is so impressive!
Hi. Just wondering what to do with almond extract. It’s not in the directions but is listed in the ingredients. Add to batter along with vanilla?
Yes! Thanks for catching. I have been out of the country for the past two weeks, so sorry for the late response!
I just don’t make these often enough, but seeing your individual clafoutis makes me want to bake some right now! Lovely!
yes, they’re super easy and a great way to use up leftover fruit!
Just my kind of dessert: peaches, simple, not too sweet. Pinning!
Me too Dana…I really don’t have a huge sweet tooth…so when I do indulge, it’s mostly fruit based desserts.
That is gorgeous!! We have some blueberries in our garden ready to be picked and a box of peaches I’m picking up on Saturday – I know exactly what I’ll be doing with both! 🙂
Excellent Kimberly, thank you!
This looks amazing! So simple, but elegant!
Thank you Marye!
I once tried to make a clafoutis off a Food Network recipe and I failed miserably so I cannot wait to try your’s – I too love the peach and blueberry combo – this makes for one gorgeous dessert – or breakfast even – I mean it has fruit right?! 🙂
Oh, so sorry Shashi! I wonder what could have gone wrong? The texture is somewhat between a custard and a cake.
My Family Loved it. I am definitely sharing Guys, Thanks For sharing this Great Recipe. this recipe and this website with my friend. Hope they also love it. Thank you again for sharing such a great recipe.
