Made this with fresh strawberries and vanilla as that is what I had on hand. I also had to sub half n half with milk I added cornstarch and a little butter to. I am diabetic so used sugar substitute. I baked it for 45 minutes in a glass pie dish. The consistency was custardy. The flavor was divine with the browned top tasting reminiscent of the outer shell of an angel food cake. And my sugar free version came in at 160Kcal, 10 carbs, and 7g of protein p/serv making it a perfect any time treat.
Great GF dessert! Based on the other notes, I made these changes and it came out perfect: - 1 cup of milk (0.8 cup 2% milk, 0.2 cup heavy cream) - 1.5 cup of almond flour - vanilla extract in place of almond extract (did not have it on hand) - 6 oz blueberries in place of raspberries (again, did not have them on hand and had limited blueberries; I imagine more than 8 oz might even be too much) - 9 in springform pan lined with buttered parchment - ~45 min in the oven (top was golden brown)
Mushy and wet the first time. Added 1/2 tsp baking powder, 1/4c regular flour, and longer cook time and it came out much better the second. This recipe reads as one that hasn't actually been tested. Come on, NYT, you're supposed to be the gold standard. Especially when you charge $.
Definitely very almond flavor - which I loved. I followed the recipe exactly except I baked it for 40 minutes. It came out perfect. It was not grainy like other reviews said. If you don't like almond flavoring, it may be too overpowering. But I loved it!
Easy, sweet, forgiving. No half and half in the house but half a can each of left over evaporated milk and coconut milk from the matcha raspberry butter mochi cake (a winner). raspberries and cherries because that’s what I had. Baked in a 9.5” deep dish pie plate. Don’t think too much, quick and tasty.
I do gluten free clafoutis all the time and always get a rave (put in the oven when you serve apps take it out when sit down for dinner) I use 1/2 cup cup for cup flour, 3/4 cup 2% milk, 1 tsp vanilla extract and 1/2 tsp almond extract and whatever fruit I have on hand. I've used fresh peaches and/or berries, frozen or fresh blueberries and raspberries, apples and/or pears (fabulous with the almond hint) & serve still warm w/ a quenelle of slightly softened vanilla ice cream.
