Elegant Blackberry Flaugnarde
I love having delicious and easy dessert recipes that are the perfect exclamation point to a beautiful dinner. This Elegant Blackberry Flaugnarde is one of my family’s favorites.
If you can whip up pancake batter, this is the perfect dessert for you. This effortless confection takes only minutes to mix together and less than an hour to bake. It’s a great dessert to pop into the oven just before you eat dinner as there’s nothing like that warm, cozy bite.
A French Classic
Elegant Blackberry Flaugnarde not only comes together easily, it also only takes a handful of ingredients. With the exception of the blackberries they’re ingredients you probably always have on hand.
While many people have either had or heard of a clafoutis, flaugnarde is a similar French dessert. Where clafoutis is traditionally made with cherries, flaugnarde can be a multitude of different fresh fruit fillings.
For this recipe I am using one of my favorite seasonal fruits, blackberries. I love their balance of sweet and tart flavor and the juicy burst of fruit that melds with the batter. You can substitute the blackberries with your favorite berry, or combination.
The batter for this dessert reminds me of almost a crepe like batter. It’s thin and silky, baking up into a light and puffy treat that hugs each berry and transforms into almost one large pancake.
This is a perfect treat to end a Sunday dinner on as it’s rustic, warm, and comforting. It’s also a gorgeous accompaniment to afternoon tea, and special enough to entertain with or add to your holiday table. You will love how quickly it comes together and your friends and family will adore it from first bite to last crumb.
