Ingredients
The main ingredients of this recipe are:

- Powder Sugar: to sprinkle.
How to make GF Strawberry Clafoutis
Preheat oven to 340°F (170°C).
Beat the egg yolk with the sugar in a large bowl. Add the almond flour and mix with a rubber spatula. Add the cream and vanilla extract, and incorporate everything. Set aside.
In another bowl, beat the egg whites with a hand mixer to form stiff peaks. Start beating at low speed, and as the volume increases, increase the speed. It’s ready when you turn the bowl upside down, and the whipped egg whites should not fall out. Fold gently into the almond flour mixture with a pinch of salt until just combined.
Pour the mixture into a baking dish or saute pan, and place the chopped strawberries into the batter.
Bake for 15/20 minutes. Serve warm in the baking dish or saute pan and sprinkle with powdered sugar.
Storing
It’s best served warm immediately. Keep leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 3 days. Don’t recommend freezing it, it’s not the same.
Variations and serving options
- Fruits: replace the strawberries with cherries for the traditional version. Swap some of the strawberries for blueberries, raspberries, or blackberries for freshness and colour.
- Flour: Replace almond flour with another gluten-free flour.
- Individual serving: served the dessert in individual portions. They look very cute in individual ramekins.
