Name: Almond-Raspberry Clafoutis with Vanilla Ice Cream
Yield: Makes 6 servings
Ingredients: 1 10-ounce package frozen raspberries in syrup, thawed; 1 cup (4 1/2 ounces) whole almonds, toasted; 1 1/2 cups sugar; 7 large egg whites; 3/4 cup all purpose flour; 1/4 cup orange juice; 1 tablespoon grated orange peel; 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter; 2 1/2-pint baskets fresh raspberries; Vanilla ice cream (optional)

"Last summer we spent a week in Paso Robles, California, and had an excellent dinner at Bistro Laurent," say Rusty and Stacey Willi of Santa Rosa, California. "To our delight, dessert—a warm raspberry clafouti topped with vanilla ice cream—turned out to be one of our favorite vacation memories."

This dessert has a more cake-like texture than a traditional clafouti. The version here is even better topped with ice cream.

There are many things that appeal about a Basque cheesecake—it's crustless (one less job) and is meant to look “rustic” with its wrinkled and jagged sides.

Jammy Grape Galette

We don’t bake with grapes as often as we should. But even the most average supermarket varieties come alive when roasted with a bit of sugar and seasoning.
