Forest Fruits Clafoutis

Ingredients

  • 500ml frozen Black Forest fruits, thawed

  • 5 to 6 tbsp golden caster sugar

  • 15g dairy free spread

  • 85g gluten free plain flour

  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon

  • 4 eggs

  • 400ml coconut milk

  • 3 tbsp blackcurrant or red fruit squash

  • ½ tsp arrowroot (blended with a little water)

  • Icing sugar, to dust


Method

  1. Preheat oven to 200°C (180°C fan). Drain the fruit, reserving the juice.

  2. Toss the berries with 1 tbsp of sugar, then spread evenly into a greased 24cm ovenproof dish.

  3. In a bowl, sift together the flour and cinnamon. Stir in the remaining sugar.

  4. In a separate jug, whisk together the eggs and coconut milk.

  5. Gradually whisk the wet mixture into the dry ingredients until smooth.

  6. Pour the batter gently over the fruit.

  7. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, until set and lightly golden.

  8. Meanwhile, heat the fruit juice with the squash in a small pan. Stir in the arrowroot mixture until slightly thickened to form a coulis.

  9. Dust the clafoutis with icing sugar and serve warm, drizzled with the coulis.


Tips

  • You can swap frozen berries for fresh when in season

  • Serve with coconut yoghurt for an extra creamy finish

  • Best enjoyed warm, but also delicious chilled the next day
