Ingredients

Method

1.Preheat oven to 180°C. Butter a 24cm ovenproof dish.
2.Peel the tamarillos with a serrated knife and cut each into 3-4 slices. Spread the fruit in the bottom of the well-greased dish.
3.In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, cream, sugar and vanilla.
4.Stir in the almonds, then sift in the cornflour and cocoa. Mix to a smooth batter.
5.Pour the batter over the back of a spoon into the ovenproof dish – doing it this way means it doesn’t displace the tamarillo slices.
6.Bake for 35 minutes or until the middle is only just wobbly.
7.Remove from oven and sprinkle over the caster sugar. Serve large spoonfuls of warm clafoutis with the whipped cream or ice cream.
  • Serves 6-8.

Caramelised apple clafoutis

Clafoutis is originally from the Limousin region of central France where, in the local dialect, it translates as "brimming over". It is one of the easiest desserts to make: a sweet batter is poured into a baking dish "brimming" with cherries, prunes or the fresh fruit of your choice, and baked. Traditionally, cherries native to the region were used.
