Ina Garten Peach Clafoutis

Ina Garten Peach Clafoutis

Clafoutis is a traditional French dessert that combines fresh fruit with a lightly sweetened custard batter. While classic clafoutis is made with cherries, this peach version is a delicious twist, offering a juicy and fragrant flavor that pairs beautifully with the creamy texture of the custard.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (for greasing)
  • Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

  • Set the temperature: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Grease the baking dish: Butter a 9-inch pie dish or cast-iron skillet to prevent sticking.

Step 2: Prepare the Peaches

  • Slice the peaches: Peel, pit, and cut the peaches into thin slices.
  • Arrange in dish: Evenly spread the peach slices in the bottom of the greased dish.

Step 3: Make the Custard Batter

  • Whisk eggs and sugar: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and granulated sugar until smooth.
  • Add wet ingredients: Stir in the milk, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and almond extract.
  • Incorporate dry ingredients: Gradually whisk in the flour, salt, and cinnamon until the batter is smooth and lump-free.

Step 4: Assemble and Bake

  • Pour the batter: Carefully pour the custard mixture over the peaches in the baking dish.
  • Bake until set: Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the custard is firm and lightly golden on top.

Step 5: Cool and Serve

  • Let it rest: Allow the clafoutis to cool for 10 minutes.
  • Dust with powdered sugar: Sprinkle powdered sugar on top for a decorative finish.
  • Serve warm or chilled: Enjoy as is, or with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
