This Red, White and Berry Clafoutis is the perfect seasonal summer dessert. It’s not too sweet which allows the berries to really shine.

Ingredients for Red, White and Berry Clafoutis

With only 10 ingredients, this Red, White and Berry Clafoutis comes together in just minutes. The berries that I chose for this recipe were mostly for their patriotic colors but you can use any combination of berries or fruit.

  • large eggs
  • granulated sugar
  • vanilla extract
  • milk – whole milk is preferred but any type of milk will work great in this recipe. I’ve tried this recipe with dairy-free milk and the texture was slightly different but still tasted great. For a thick, custard texture I recommend sticking with regular milk.
  • orange juice and zest – lemon juice and zest is another great substitute. The citrus gives some balance and tartness to the berries.
  • fine sea salt
  • all-purpose flour
  • berries – equal mixture of raspberries, blueberries and strawberries. You can use any combination of berries that you want but I decided to use berries with patriotic colors.
  • unsalted butter 
  • powdered sugar and vanilla ice cream – optional garnish, although I highly recommend you use these to really bring the dessert together!

Here’s what else you’ll need:

  • medium size baking dish with a depth of at least 2 inches
  • medium mixing bowl
  • whisk
  • measuring cups and spoons
  • zester
  • juicer
  • small cutting board and knife

How to Make Red, White and Berry Clafoutis

You will have this Red, White and Berry Clafoutis oven ready in just 15 minutes. Simply prepare the orange infused custard and pour into your baking dish. Top with berries and bake! My best advice when making the custard is to add the flour slowly because if you add it all at once, you’ll be left with clumps (and no one wants a clumpy clafoutis).

  1. Heat the butter in the baking dish while the oven preheats until melted. Coat the sides of the baking dish. Set aside.
  2. Whisk together the eggs and 1/4 cup of sugar until frothy. Add the vanilla, milk, orange juice, orange zest and salt and whisk vigorously until well combined.
  3. Slowly add the flour, 1/4 cup at a time then whisk until combined and there are no clumps.
  4. Pour half of the batter into the baking dish then add the berries. Sprinkle with additional 1 tablespoon of sugar then pour the rest of the batter over top. Bake until the top is lightly browned and puffed.
  5. Let cool before serving. Garnish with powdered sugar and serve with vanilla ice cream.
