Almond & Fig Clafoutis

Ingredients:

1 cup almond milk
1 cup heavy cream
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon orange zest
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
1 cup almond flour
1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons all purpose flour
6 ripe figs
1/4 cup slivered almonds

*Serve with cream or powdered sugar if desired

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees (F). Butter a 10 inch gratin dish, and set aside.

In a blender combine the almond milk, cream, eggs, sugar, almond extract, orange zest, and salt. In two batches add the flours (almond and all purpose), pulsing for about 20 seconds in between additions. Let the batter rest in the blender container for about 10 minutes, then pulse for another 20 seconds. Pour batter into prepared gratin dish, and top with figs (cut side facing up) and almonds. Bake for 40 -45 minutes, or until top is a light golden brown and the custard is just set. Let cool for 5 – 10 minutes before cutting and serving with cream or powdered sugar.
