Blueberry clafoutis

Blueberry clafoutis

Gordon Ramsay’s dessert is bursting with berry and almond flavours, and can be prepared well in advance - in fact, it's best to make the batter 24 hours ahead

Difficulty and servings

Moderately easy

Serves 8

Preparation and cooking times

Takes 30-40 minutes

Method

  1. Grind the almonds to a very fine powder in a small food processor then blend in the flour and salt. Add the sugar, whole eggs, yolks and cream. Whizz until creamy smooth. (If you're making ahead, tip the batter into a jug at this point and store in the fridge for up to 24 hours.)
  2. When ready to cook, preheat the oven to 200C/gas 6/fan 180C. Butter eight 10cm gratin dishes. Scatter the blueberries in the bottom.
  3. Give the batter a good stir, pour into the dishes and bake for about 18-20 minutes, or until risen and lightly firm. Dust with icing sugar and serve warm.
Try

In two large dishes

If you prefer, you can make the clafoutis in two 20cm gratin dishes (or shallow flan dishes). Bake them at 190C/gas 5/fan 170C, for about 25-30 minutes.

'I made this in mini gratin dishes and all my my guests loved having their own individual desserts. The blueberries were just soft and the flavour of the toasted almonds came through with every mouthful.'
