This is such a beautifully silky treat! Barely sweet custard studded with apricots. Stone fruit are in season and I had 8 apricots that were sitting in a bowl getting ripe.
Clafoutis is a French dessert. A baked custard usually made with cherries.
I used both fragrant orange & lemon zest in mine.
And the recipe is so very simple! It’s best eaten warm. Dust it with a bit of powdered sugar. Perfect for brunch.
Ingredients:
8 apricots
3 eggs
1/3 cup sugar (or favorite sweetener)
1 tbsp vanilla
1 tbsp rum
3/4 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup milk
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/3 cup flour
Zest of 1/2 lemon & 1/2 orange
Directions:
Slice the apricots into 6 pieces. Set aside.
Whisk the eggs and sugar until fluffy and pale in color. Add in milk & heavy cream, vanilla, almond extracts, salt , zest & rum, whisk together and finally add in the flour.
Pour into a buttered baking pan. I used a ceramic pie pan.
Add in the apricots.
Bake at 350 F for 45 minutes.
Let stand for 15 minutes before dusting it with powdered sugar.
Enjoy! Kali Oreksi!
