Chocolate-Mixed Berry Baked Custard image

A lightly sweetened, chocolatey, baked dessert that's somewhere between a clafouti, a baked custard, and a Dutch baby. You can use any fresh or frozen berries you like (thaw and drain them first), and any kind of chocolate you wish (I've used both 72% and 86% dark chocolate with great results). This can be served immediately out of the oven, or cooled completely.

Time 45m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened
4 cups mixed frozen berries, thawed and drained
3 ½ ounces dark chocolate, chopped (such as Ghirardelli(R) 72% Cacao Twilight Delight bar)
½ cup all-purpose flour
½ cup white sugar
2 tablespoons white sugar
¼ cup sifted cocoa powder
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
6 large eggs, at room temperature
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
½ teaspoon almond extract
1 cup whole milk
½ cup heavy cream
¼ cup sifted powdered sugar, or more as needed

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Use 1 tablespoon butter to grease a 9x13-inch pan.
  • Scatter thawed berries and chopped dark chocolate evenly over the bottom of the pan. Set aside.
  • Whisk together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, salt, and cinnamon in a large bowl until thoroughly combined. Add in eggs, and whisk until mixture is smooth and free of lumps. Mix in 2 tablespoons melted butter, vanilla, and almond extracts. Gradually pour in milk and heavy cream, whisking constantly, until incorporated. Pour batter over berries and chocolate in the prepared pan.
  • Place pan into the preheated oven and bake until the center is just set and sides are slightly puffed, about 25 minutes. Can be eaten immediately, cooled slightly, or at room temperature, as desired. Sprinkle generously with powdered sugar before serving.

This custard is a great make-ahead dessert. You can make it the day before and then just pop it in the oven when you're ready to serve it.

I added a dollop of whipped cream to the top of each serving and it was delicious!

I made this custard in individual ramekins and it was the perfect size for a single serving.

I had some trouble finding mixed berries, so I used raspberries and blueberries instead. It still turned out great!

This custard was a bit too rich for my taste, but I think it would be perfect for someone who likes their desserts on the richer side.

I'm not a big fan of chocolate, but I really enjoyed this custard. The berries added a nice tartness that balanced out the sweetness of the chocolate.

I had some trouble getting the custard to set properly. I think I might have overcooked it.

I'm not usually a big fan of custard, but this recipe changed my mind. The chocolate and mixed berries were a perfect combination, and the custard was cooked to perfection. It was smooth and creamy, with just the right amount of sweetness.

This chocolate mixed berry baked custard was a hit with my family! It was rich, creamy, and full of flavor. The berries added a nice tartness that balanced out the sweetness of the chocolate. I will definitely be making this again.
