This dessert is an easy French classic, and any fruit can be used really – raspberry, feijoa, peach, plum, prune, or the original, cherry. I’m using tamarillos as they’re in season and warmed, they’re absolutely gorgeous.  

Serves 4-6  

 

Ingredients 

  • 3-4 tamarillos, scooped and sliced  
  • 5 medium eggs  
  • 8 tbsps. caster sugar + extra  
  • 5 tbsps. plain flour  
  • 2 tsps. vanilla extract  
  • 1¼ cup milk  
  • Cream to serve  
  • Butter to grease dish + extra 

 

Method 

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C and generously butter a large ovenproof dish.  
  2. Scatter the tamarillos into the dish.  
  3. Whisk the eggs with the sugar, then add the flour and whisk until smooth. Whisk in the vanilla and milk.  
  4. Pour the batter over the fruit, dot some extra butter over the top, and bake for 30 minutes or so until just set in the centre, puffed, and golden.  
  5. Serve with a final sprinkle of sugar over the top and drizzle with cream.
