Ina Garten Peach Clafoutis Recipe Ingredients

• 3 large peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced
• 3 large eggs
• 1 cup whole milk
• ½ cup heavy cream
• ½ cup granulated sugar
• ½ cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ½ teaspoon almond extract (optional)
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (for greasing)
• Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)

How To Make Ina Garten Peach Clafoutis Recipe

1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C). Butter a 9-inch pie dish or cast-iron skillet.
2. Prepare the peaches: Peel, pit, and slice the peaches. Spread them evenly in the bottom of the prepared dish.
3. Make the custard batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and granulated sugar until smooth. Add the milk, heavy cream, vanilla, and almond extract. Gradually whisk in the flour, salt, and cinnamon until the batter is smooth.
4. Assemble and bake: Pour the batter evenly over the peaches. Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the top is golden and the custard is set.
5. Cool and serve: Let the clafoutis cool for about 10 minutes. Dust with powdered sugar if desired, and serve warm or chilled.

Recipe Tips

• Can I use frozen peaches? Yes, just thaw and pat them dry before using.
• How do I know when it’s done? The custard should be set and lightly golden. A toothpick should come out mostly clean.
• Can I make this ahead of time? Yes, it can be made a few hours in advance and served chilled or gently rewarmed.
• What’s the best dish to use? A 9-inch pie plate or cast-iron skillet works best for even baking.
• Can I use other fruits? Absolutely! Try cherries, plums, berries, or a mix for variations.

FAQs

Can I skip the almond extract?
Yes, it’s optional. Vanilla alone gives a lovely flavor.

Why is my clafoutis rubbery?
Overbaking can make it dense. Bake until just set.

Is clafoutis served hot or cold?
It can be served warm, at room temp, or chilled—it’s delicious either way.

Can I double the recipe?
Yes, but use a larger baking dish and add 5–10 minutes to the baking time.

What texture should it have?
Clafoutis is custardy, soft, and slightly creamy—like a baked flan or thick pancake.
