This easy Julia Child Blackberry Clafoutis French clafoutis is soft, custardy, and bursting with fresh blackberries. A simple batter of milk, eggs, and sugar bakes into a lightly sweet dessert with a golden top. Perfect warm or chilled!
Ingredients Needed
- 1 tsp, butter for greasing
- 6 oz (or more) fresh blackberries
- ⅞ cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- ¾ cup plain flour (all-purpose flour)
- 7 tbsp Caster sugar (white sugar)
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 tbsp (or more, for topping) light brown sugar
How To Make Blackberry Clafoutis
- Preheat and prepare the dish: Preheat oven to 190°C (375°F). Grease a 23cm (9-inch) baking dish with butter.
- Add blackberries: Spread blackberries evenly in the prepared dish.
- Make the batter: In a bowl, whisk milk and eggs. Add flour, sugar, and salt, mixing until smooth.
- Bake the first stage: Pour batter over the blackberries and bake for 25 minutes, until eggs start to set.
- Add brown sugar and finish baking: Sprinkle brown sugar on top and bake for another 20 minutes, until golden brown.

Recipe Tips
- Use room temperature ingredients: This helps the batter mix smoothly for the best texture.
- Don’t overmix: A gentle whisk ensures a tender, custardy texture.
- Try other fruits: Swap blackberries for cherries, raspberries, or sliced peaches.
- Sprinkle sugar before serving: A light dusting of icing sugar makes it extra special.
- Serve warm or chilled: It’s delicious either way, but chilling enhances the custard flavour.
