Ingredients:
| Ingredient | Quantity |

| Sweetened condensed chocolate milk | 200g |
| All-purpose flour | 200g |
| Eggs | 165g |
| Fresh strawberries | 90g |
| Powdered sugar | To taste |
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Batter:
Begin by cracking the eggs into a large mixing bowl. Pour in the sweetened condensed chocolate milk, followed by sifting the all-purpose flour over the mixture. Whisk everything together until you have a smooth, creamy batter with no lumps. -
Prepare the Strawberries:
While your batter comes together, wash and clean the strawberries. Remove the stems and slice them into thin rounds. Set aside. -
Combine Strawberries and Batter:
Gently fold the sliced strawberries into the prepared batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture. -
Prepare the Baking Dishes:
Butter four 12cm diameter ceramic ramekins or baking dishes. This size is ideal for ensuring the clafoutis bake evenly and maintain their custard-like texture. -
Transfer the Batter:
Pour the chocolate-strawberry batter evenly into each prepared ramekin. The mixture should come about halfway up the sides of each dish. -
Bake:
Preheat your oven to 180Β°C (350Β°F) and bake the clafoutis for about 25-30 minutes, or until they are puffed up and golden brown around the edges. The center should still be slightly wobbly, reminiscent of a soft custard. -
Cool and Serve:
Once baked, allow the clafoutis to cool slightly. Dust the top with a light coating of powdered sugar for an elegant finish. Serve warm or at room temperature for a delightful treat.
Tips:
- Customizations: While strawberries are the star of this dessert, feel free to swap them out for other fruits like raspberries, cherries, or even a mix of berries for a different twist.
- Serving Suggestion: This clafoutis pairs wonderfully with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.
- Storage: Leftover clafoutis can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven to restore its lovely texture.
This Chocolate Strawberry Clafoutis is a simple yet sophisticated dessert perfect for any occasion, from a cozy dinner to a special celebration. The combination of cocoa, eggs, and strawberries results in a rich, comforting flavor that everyone will love.
