Blueberrylicious!!!! This is delicious! I did use frozen blueberries, but the trick is to leave them alone, don't rinse!!! The berries stayed beautifully at the top. The crust was halfway between a custard and a pate chou. I also used two teaspoons of orange juice instead of orange rind. The vanilla, blueberries and cinnamon made the house smell soo good. Made for ZWT5

very easy dessert! Made this with my grand-daughter, in her butterfly-shaped muffin tin (Xmas pressie) They only took 10 mins to cook, and the 2 kids loved them! Didnt use the ring, not usually a fan, but I think it would be nice with rind and orange liquor instead of vanilla. MIne set evenly throughout, and wasnt like scrambled egg. thanks for an easy keeper! aussie swap dec 09

This is my first time making a clafouti and I LOVE how easy it is. The flavour of this was really nice - I wish I had had an orange on hand because I had to skip the rind. I'm not sure about the consistancy - like someone else said, it was a little like scrambled egg on top. Maybe I should have cooked it longer. Will keep experimenting to make that custard/batter set better. Thanks...at the end of the day it was a nice dessert, and pretty healthy to boot.

Hi Julie B I've been trying clafouti recipes and yours was next. What I am most interested in is the "custard" part, because any fruit seems to be wonderful with this dessert. I was intrigued by the orange zest, but used lemon because that is what i had. Nice light custard mostly, but some firm to slightly scrambled egg consistency as well. I didn't give it stars because I strayed so far from the recipe. But as a jumping off point it was very good and my DH really enjoyed. We used fresh cherries as that is what I had. Thanks for the inspiration Judy in /wa

I don't want to give stars for this, because I'm pretty sure I did something wrong or my oven wasn't working property. Mine turned out to be total mush and not cake-like at all. I made it for ZWT5, so I have to review it. I'll try making it again in the future because it sure sounds good.
