My Personal Experience

When I first made this keto clafoutis, I was amazed at how effortlessly it came together. The sweet-tart balance of cherries and blueberries reminded me of summer picnics, and the creamy custard base felt like a luxurious treat. Even my non-keto friends couldn’t believe it was low-carb!

Required Equipment

1. Mixing Bowls: You’ll need a couple of sturdy bowls to whisk and mix ingredients. A good set makes the process seamless and keeps cleanup minimal.
2. Whisk: A handheld whisk works wonders for achieving a smooth batter. It’s simple, effective, and doesn’t take up much space.
3. Baking Dish: A round or square baking dish is ideal. A non-stick surface ensures the clafoutis releases easily, and I love how it evenly distributes heat for perfect baking.
4. Measuring Cups and Spoons: Precision is key in baking, so having reliable measuring tools is a must.
5. Oven: A preheated oven ensures consistent results. Trust me, the aroma wafting through your kitchen is worth the wait!

Ingredients & Substitutions

• Cherries (1 cup, pitted): Fresh or frozen cherries work great. You can substitute with raspberries or strawberries if needed.
• Blueberries (1 cup): Adds natural sweetness. Blackberries are a good alternative.
• Almond Flour (1/2 cup): Provides a nutty flavor and keeps it keto. Coconut flour can be used, but reduce the amount to 1/3 cup.
• Coconut Milk (1/2 cup): Adds creaminess. Heavy cream or almond milk are great substitutes.
• Eggs (3 large): Essential for the custard-like texture.
• Granulated Sweetener (1/3 cup): Use erythritol or monk fruit. Adjust to taste.
• Vanilla Extract (1 tsp): Enhances the flavors. You can also try almond extract for a twist.
• Salt (Pinch): Balances the sweetness and enhances flavors.
• Butter (1 tbsp, melted): Adds richness. Coconut oil works well as a dairy-free option.

How to Make Keto Cherry Blueberry Clafoutis

1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your baking dish with melted butter.
2. Prepare the Fruit: Wash and dry the cherries and blueberries. Pit the cherries if not already done.
3. Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, coconut milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, mix almond flour, sweetener, and a pinch of salt.
5. Make the Batter: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, whisking until fully incorporated and lump-free.
6. Assemble: Spread the cherries and blueberries evenly in the baking dish. Pour the batter over the fruit.
7. Bake: Place the dish in the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes or until the top is golden and the custard is set.
8. Cool and Serve: Allow the clafoutis to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or refrigerate for a chilled version.
