    This recipe is delicious! I highly recommend making this one. I too used blueberries along with the raspberries and it was wonderful.

    I followed the recipe perfectly. The only difference is that i cooked it on a square pan and frozen raspberries. I think that it uses too much butter because after 20 minutes i could see all the butter at the top. Very easy though.

    I believe this to be French cherry clafouti in which apples, berries, or peaches could be substituted. If I am correct, why have you not referrred to it by the correct name?

    Have made this desert many times since the first time, VERY easy to make, 5 minutes from starting to oven, bake time is 22-25 minutes. I have used several types of friut, peaches, pineapple, strawberries and blueberries, all turned out OK. Goes great with a fruit syrup and whipped cream. Frequently requested by the family.

    Oops, pushed a button too soon.
    Saw this on Martha and made it the same day. I went wrong somewhere and would love to be able to make it correctly as it is fast and easy. I did use blueberries and two cups were too much. Besides that I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out the consistency of bread pudding instead of a delightful custard. I cooked it about 22 minutes. I had checked it at 20 minutes and had not yet set up. If you can help, I would appreciate it.

    I made this last night. It turned out great and everyone loved it. I used 1percent milk instead of whole milk and smart balance instead of butter and it still turned out! I put a tiny bit of raspberry syrup on the plate around each serving.It was easy to make and to clean up. I will definitely be making it again.

    I made this tonight with raspberries and a few pear slices. It was done at about 25 minutes (golden on top), then I broiled it for 2 more minutes. Perfect. It was SO easy and so delicious. I will make this again and serve for guests! After cooling, mine sank in the middle, too. That's what it will do. Looked gorgeous.

    I made this recipe with fresh blueberries. It looked perfect when removed from the oven, then, it settled and sanked in the middle. Can someone tell me what I did wrong?

    okay so after 50 minutes in the oven it finally set. So maybe it was just my oven but 20-25 not near enough time. Tastes awesome!

    I made it tonight. It was very good. Did not have fresh raspberries on hand, I used frozen raspberries that I drained after being unthawed. Remind me of my mom famous eggs pie.

    A . I made this after school with the kids. I used strawberries (They're fresh in Florida now). It was super easy and turned out great. It's not too sweet, and the texture was great. 5 out of 7 of my children loved it! The only complaint was that I didn't make more.
    I put on the top rack, that may help.

    Okay so I'm giving this recipe a try tonight. Made it with Strawberries and bananas. After 30 minutes it's still not set in the middle and I double checked everything. It's like soup in the middle. Tastes tested and it tastes great but something isn't right. Could just be me but I would think an easy custard like this would set up.
